3. TEQUENDAMA FALLS- Bogota River, Colombia
Watch this short video from 2007 first (1 minute 28 seconds) of one of Colombia's natural wonders, a 450-foot waterfall about two hours from Bogota.

then click story from newspaper El Espectador published today (Feb. 1).

It has dried up because of El Niño this year and previous diversion of the Bogota River to a dam and power generating plants.


Tequendama Falls today, a fetid, disease breeding pool of water.

Sad.
