There are five colors in Caño Cristales: yellow, blue, green, black and red. All of them are a product of the vital activity of numerous algae, and depending on the time of year, the saturation of colors either weakens or increases.

The water in the river is so clear that the bottom can be seen even at a decent depth, but there are no fish here due to the unique characteristics of the channel.

During the summer, the sun dries out a plant called Macarenia Clavijera and the river takes on a rich red color.

Yellow, black, turquoise and green colors also appear due to various algae.

Since the riot of color occurs during the hot season, the river is open to tourists from June to November.

See her once - and believe that the possibilities of nature to create miracles are truly endless. It is enough to go to the coast of Caño Cristales to understand that you are in a unique place.

The Caño Cristales River is known as the most beautiful river in the world.

To get to it, you need to fly by plane from Villavicencio to Macarena, then sail on a boat and, finally, walk along paths untrodden until now to this natural miracle.

Cristales flows in the selva, its length does not reach even 100 kilometers, and its width is 20 meters, which is why it cannot be called large, especially in comparison with the Amazon.

Caño Cristales is a rainbow fireworks display dominated by shades of red, yellow, blue and green.

Long strands of purple, scarlet, pink, and where there is less sun, greenish algae called clavija macarinence, which grows only here, cover the bottom with a bright soft carpet, wriggling under the pressure of water.

Surrounding the river is the Caño Cristales National Natural Park.

In deeper places, bottom irregularities form natural depressions: deep multi-colored round wells - “moyas”.

Swimming in these pools is like being born again. Unusual universal peace, lightness and zero thoughts in my head.

The complete absence of a person, only the sun, the jungle, the sky, green, moss-covered warm stones, a falcon frozen somewhere high in the hot air, looking for prey, and this crystal-colored cool water penetrating into every cell of the body.

Recent studies by local naturalists have shown that the water in the river is so pure that it is practically distilled.

AT river water there are no salts and minerals, so it is not suitable for drinking. Yes, and there are no fish in it, in general.

Since rain and mountain, oxygenated water and rocky bottom do not contain silt and do not bring sedimentary materials with them, there is practically no other underwater vegetation. The fish simply have nothing to eat. Only unpretentious small fish are found in the river.

Also here you can take a walk at the stepped cascade called the Staircase, where secluded grottoes are hidden behind the sparkling wall of water, and bats nest in the rocks.

Fanciful flat stone blocks seem to be thrown in disorder on the shore of someone's giant hand. Dark damp caves, the abode of sorceresses and Colombian mermen - Mohans, hiding countless treasures from people - all this is Caño Cristales.

No wonder the rivers, lakes, caves were for the Indians who lived here long before the Spaniards, a symbol of the "lower world" - the world of moisture, night, femininity, maternal womb, the mystery associated with birth.

In winter and spring, it is impossible to get to the banks of the "crystal river" - the status of the object natural heritage UNESCO obliges to take extreme measures for the security and protection of its basin.

The age of the Macarena mountain range is 1 million 200 thousand years.
