During the one period of the year this river becomes amazingly colorful. The color comes from unusual river vegetation and algae which appears only during the rainy season of the year.

If you are planning to visit this location and see the colorful river, better check what’s the period of the year if you want to enjoy watching its colors because this colorful vegetation lasts only for a number of days and then disappears until the next year.
