Beautiful, isn’t it? There’s just one problem. The ‘lake’ is actually a disused tungsten mine, and the vivid colors actually signify chemical contamination.

This hasn’t stopped some people entering the water, however, leading to hospitalizations for skin rashes and stomach problems.

“在周末，这是一种朝圣，是一个危险的地方，因为这是由工业液体造成的景观，”瓦雷拉说。“一方面，这是一个很容易进入的地区，另一方面，斜坡高度高达30米，是有风险的。”

Of course, it’s not the first and certainly won’t be the last time that people have foolishly risked their health and lives for the perfect snap.
