Usually, river water does not have its own color. However, water color may vary due to natural causes or environmental pollution. But there is a river in Colombia where you can see many colors.
You can see a total of seven colors including red, blue, yellow, green, and orange in that river in Colombia. We may have seen these scenes in fairy tale books or movies, but very few people have experienced this in reality.
Surprisingly, this river is located in the Serrania de la Mecarinha region of Colombia. The river is located at the foot of the hill. The name of the river is Canyon Crystals.
Many people call this river ‘River of Colors’ in English due to the variety of colors. Many people call this river a ‘Liquid Rainbow’. This river on the other hand is also known as ‘Melted Rainbow’.
Sometimes crimson, sometimes bright blue and dark green, yellow and even purple colors, as well as pink, orange, and maroon colored water, can be enjoyed. To be honest, the water of this river has been flowing like this for years.
It looks colorful due to the type of aquatic plants in the river. In fact, the reflection of various colors of that plant can be seen in the river. It shines even more in sunlight.
The name of the plant is Macarenia Clubigera. This plant is quite old. This plant is located in several rivers of the area. When the water level in the river is very high or when the water level is very low, the color variation is not so visible.
The river is located in a hill town where not many people live. However, tourists from different regions come to visit here. The Colombian administration has taken important steps to save this river.
