The magical Hinatuan River on the island of Mindanao, Philippines

The Hinatuan River surprises with its unusual colors, iridescent from emerald to deep sapphire, thanks to which it received the nickname “magic river”.

The water in the river has a high degree of purity and is very clear due to the low content of dissolved minerals.

The source of the river is a deep cave from which water flows.

This source attracts tourists, locals and diving enthusiasts who want to see this amazing natural phenomenon.

The depths of the river still remain unexplored; researchers managed to descend to 82 meters.

Some experts believe that this depth is only intermediate, a kind of step from which a new path into the underwater cave begins.
