From my Archives. The image is taken from a narrow path above one of the cascades.

 

The National Park is world famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. Currently, 16 lakes can be seen from the surface.[3] These lakes are a result of the confluence of several small rivers and subterranean karst rivers. The lakes are all interconnected and follow the water flow.

The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.
