m ost complex mountaing range systems. It counts with five major picks

Caño
Cristales
The
stream of seven colors, Caño Cristales is a natural wonder in its
own right. The bed and rocks of this river are covered with mosses and
algae which for much of the year appear as dull green and brown water plants.
The water level regulates the among of sunlight reaching the plants. At
certain times of the year depending on the water level the mosses 'bloom'.
During the rainy season the mosses are too deep for all the colors to bloom
and during the dry too shallow. There is a window between the dry and rainy
seasons where the water level is just right and the mosses display their
rainbow of colors. The spectacular blooms create an array of colors.
