守護天堂
位於哥倫比亞心臟地帶的馬卡雷納國家及生態保護區,擁有世界上其中一條最美麗的河流——五色河。由於內戰,這條色彩斑斕的河流曾經與外界隔絕接近60年,卻因而保護了當地的獨特動植物免受外界影響。
五色河呈現出的多種色彩是由於這區一種特有的水生植物。這種植物在營養物質貧乏而清澈透亮的河水中,直接生長在岩石之上。多虧這種植物,河中才有魚、龜、蛇、鬣蜥甚至侏儒凱門鱷棲息。河岸上生活着41種哺乳類動物及鳥類,但五色河正受到降雨量減少、森林砍伐及石油公司試圖在這個地區開彩石油的威脅。

The La Macarena National and Ecological Reserve Park, located in the heart of Colombia, is home to one of the most beautiful rivers in the world: the Caño Cristales. Due to the civil war, this river of five colors was cut off from the outside world for nearly 60 years. However, it shelters a unique fauna and flora.
Its red, pink and green colors are explained by an aquatic plant that is found only in this part of the world. It grows directly on the rock in a crystal clear water, very poor in nutrients. Thanks to it, the river is populated by fish, turtles, snakes, iguanas and even dwarf caimans. 41 species of mammals inhabit the banks, from squirrel monkeys to felines, tapirs, peccaries, tamanduas, as well as many birds. All of them depend on this river which is now threatened by the decrease of rainfall and the deforestation for the benefit of the cattle. An oil company has even tried to drill in the area to exploit the hydrocarbons but the local population has vehemently opposed it.
