Indigenous guards from the Pasto ethnic group take part in a ritual next to the Green Lake ("Laguna Verde" in Spanish), in Tuquerres, department of Narino, Colombia, on August 29, 2024. In the Andes mountains of south-west Colombia, the crater of a volcano shelters an enchanting lake in fifty shades of green, a natural treasure that was once threatened by mass tourism and is now watched over by an indigenous community.
