Paramos are high Andean mountain ecosystems located in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Cities like Bogotá, capital of Colombia, depend mainly on water from these ecosystem to supply with water more than 8 million people. I took this picture while studying mountain tapirs in Puracé, National Park, south western Colombia, some years ago. I liked the beautiful colors of the vegetation and of course the transparency of the water while flowing over a milky bed of sulfur from a nearby volcano. I wanted to share it as my first post for Watery Wednesday.

A wonderful ecosystem and a beautiful photo.
Welome to Watery Wednesday !!
Very cool shot. I love the way the water looks milky, but when you enlarge it, you can see the rocks and riverbed through the clear water..
The paramos must be amazing. I love this unusual scene - at least it would be unusual here. I've never seen a stream like that.
Just wanted to say 'Hello' and 'Good Luck' with your projects from all the World Tapir Day fundraisers here in Ottawa, Canada.
