Until a few years ago, this river, which is located deep in the mountains of Colombia, was more of an invisible attraction than a spectacular attraction, because for some reason, tourist booklets did not recommend visiting the river, but 10 years ago the page came back. And little by little, curious tourists became eager to see this river.
Wherever you travel in Colombia, you will not find a fascinating attraction of this river. If you want to see the river in the most colorful way possible, visit the river between June and January. Because in the months between January and June, the plants of this river go into hibernation and become colorless to take on attractive and beautiful colors again at the end of spring. Of course, the best time to visit this river is from September to January, because tropical rainfall has decreased during these months. On rainy days (this happens mostly on summer days) rain can reduce the intensity of the colors, so when it rains there is no guarantee that you can see all 5 colors red, green, blue, yellow and orange.
Now that this river is so attractive for tourists and many tourists go to see it, it is natural for the authorities to think about protecting the river and establish certain rules for visiting it. In recent years, many environmental laws have been enacted to protect the river from pollution and to ensure that its unique aquatic plants are not harmed by tourist activities. If you go to see this river with tourist groups, these groups should not be more than 7 people, because surely a large number of tourists can damage such a beautiful river. 200 tourists have the right to enter this area daily. The use of insecticide sprays is prohibited in this area, and swimming in the river is strictly forbidden. There are restrictions for swimming in this river and you should not swim in certain parts of it at certain hours. If you are going to swim in the river, you should not use sunscreen, and if you are around the river, you should not use things like insecticides at all, because it is harmful to aquatic plants on the riverbed.
