The contrast between red waters and Mediterranean vegetation

Spectacular panorama of Rio Tinto flowing through a landscape where the intense red of the waters contrasts dramatically with the green of Mediterranean vegetation on the surrounding hills. White rocks emerge from the riverbed creating light islands in the crimson sea. Under a clear blue sky, this surreal scenario demonstrates how nature can create environments that seem to belong to another planet. Rio Tinto originates in the Sierra de Aracena and flows about 100 kilometers before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Huelva.
