This is clean water flowing – and yet it has that brownish color. The locals said it is all about the colors from the sediments and leaves in the rainforest the water picks up. Some suggest iron. Has to be some minerals – but cannot be just iron – I have not seen any stains left anywhere.

There are website that suggest that the water in Guyana has a lot of tannins – the same stuff that makes your red wine red.

Cheers, I guess?
