Of course, the main thing in a photographic landscape is not nature itself, but artistic vision. And yet, there is a place in the world where almost any photographer's angle of view becomes artistic, so good in themselves. One of these places is beautiful " river of five colors" Caño Cristales: perhaps the best river for photography in the world.
Caño Cristales flows through the Sierra de la Macarena in Colombia, and in most cases a traveler passing by would not even think to name the river " the best in the world": it is the most common. But only until the rainy season begins to give way to sunny days. The water level decreases, it becomes warm - and joyful algae immediately begin to decorate the river with their colorful shoots.
At this time, Caño Cristales becomes famous. " river of five colors", which attracts thousands of tourists, including photographers. Five colors are: yellow and green sand, red and purple algae and, of course, blue clear water.
Right now, from late September to early November, the Caño Cristales River attracts "beauty hunters". But getting to it is not easy: firstly, the mountain road itself, leading from densely populated areas and big cities to the river, is winding and long. Secondly, there is the threat of terrorism, due to which, until 2009, tourists were not allowed to visit Caño Cristales at all. However, now the people with machine guns seem to have calmed down, and the path to the river is open again. Travel companies have even prepared several special itineraries along Caño Cristales. "L the best river for a photographer", as you can see, has already waited for bright talented photographic landscapes!
