The following photographs correspond to Cano Cristales, a very special river which is usually called “The most beautiful river in the world”.
The colors shown in these pictures are absolutely real and there aren’t any photographic tricks at all. Cano Cristales is in the northern part of Colombia, in “Sierra de la Macarena”.
The bed and rocks of this river are covered with mosses and algae which for much of the year appear as dull green and brown water plants. The water level regulates the among of sunlight reaching the plants. At certain times of the year depending on the water level the mosses ‘bloom’. Cano Cristales did not reach the 100 km of longitude and 20 meters of wide.
