Chapada Diamantina National Park - Brazil #2

Thank you for the comment @Stphn . The waterfalls, lakes and rivers of the park have different colors depending of the location and the season of year. This is due to the fact that there is a high concentration of minerals there. For this reason, the park was formerly known for the exploration of minerals: mainly diamonds, gold and other precious stones. Today the park is known for its natural beauty and it’s protected against mineral exploration. There is still a lot of diamonds there and some illegal explorers.
