River of 5 Colours

The Columbian River Cafio Cristales (in English, 'Crystal Spout') is a tributary of the Guayabero River. For most of the year, it looks like just another river you might see, albeit a very pretty one with a bed of rocks covered in dull green mosses (I'm sure Anne Shirley would have approved).
