The river shown in the photographs is the Cano Cristales, which is located near in Sierra De La Macarena, Columbia , South America . The river, world famous for its colorful display, has been called "the river that ran away to paradise", "the most beautiful river in the world" and "the river of five colors.

During a brief span between wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss bloom in a dazzling display of colors. Without any roads leading to this river, it must be accessed by horse.

God´s Splendor;







The river can be seen with multi-color mosses and algae all around, at a specified time of a year, otherwise which appear to be dull green and brown all over. The multi-color effect is mainly due to the variation in the water level which is affected during some parts of the year, and thus making the mosses bright up and blooms for the spectators. The water level adjusts the required sunlight for the plants, but if observed in the dry and rainy seasons, the picture is different.





There is a kind of shallowness in the dry season and a kind of swampy in the rainy season which do not give out that illuminating rainbow effect all over. The point lies in between the two, and perhaps, this is where the water level is appropriate for the display of all the spectacular combinations of red, green, yellow, and blue algae.






The river is more of a biological heritage for the people of La Macarena, attracting many adventurers and tourists from all around the globe.

Felix, this is a beautiful flowing river and a waterfall, the length is more than 100 kilometers.

It seems like a heaven for photographer..

you are in Europe? Try to visit Switzerland. They have the most beautiful alps and please hurry, they are slowly deteriorating due to soil erosion.
