Heavy rains caused the Manzanares River in Santa Marta to overflow, dragging tons of garbage and plastic waste into the city's bay. A video captured by Luis Guillermo Rodríguez shows the brown water mixing with the sea and transporting various types of waste, including bags, containers, and even mattresses. Environmentalists warn that this is a recurring problem, and preventive measures are needed to clean channels and ravines before the rainy season. The city's sanitation infrastructure also faces pressure during downpours.
