The unique river in the world!

Assalamualaikum and hi!!

I want to share with you all about this unique river i had seen. Nope, that doesnt mean that i'll be there before but I have see it just from pictures. I've been captivated by its fresh and picturesque scenery. The way to reach there also challenging too.. so, check it out!!

What it is?
A unique biological wonder, Cano Cristales has been referred as the "river of five colors," "the river that ran away from paradise," and "the most beautiful river in the world." Cano Cristales is located in a remote, isolated area not easily accessible by road.

Where it is?? I'm so Excited!!

Serrania de la Maccarena, Columbia

How to get there??

According to an articles, Adventurous tourists can fly into the nearby town of La Macarena. From there it is a short trip into "Serrania de la Macarena," the national park in which Cano Cristales is located. From there, they must make their way to the river site on horseback (or donkeyback) and by foot as part of a guided tour. Visitors are not permitted to stay overnight or cook.

How it can be so colourful??? =))

For most of the year, Caño Cristales is indistinguishable from any other river: a bed of rocks covered in dull green mosses are visible below a cool, clear current.

However, for a brief period of time every year, the river blossoms in a vibrant explosion of colors. During the short span between the wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, a unique species of plant that lines the river floor called Macarenia clavigera turns a brilliant red. It is offset by splotches of yellow and green sand, blue water, and a thousand shades in between.

This only happens for a brief period in between seasons. During Colombia's wet season, the water flows too fast and deep, obscuring the bottom of the river and denying the Macarenia clavigera the sun that it needs to turn red. During the dry season there is not enough water to support the dazzling array of life in the river. But for a few weeks from September through November, the river transforms into a veritable living rainbow.
