An unusual natural phenomenon: A river of five colors in the heart of Colombia

Caño Cristales, also known as the river in five colors, is one of the most spectacular natural wonders of Colombia. Located in the mountain range of Serania de la Macarena, this unusual river delights with its vibrant yellow, green, blue, black and red shades that sway at the bottom of the bed.cano cristales.

The Colombian liquid rainbow is created thanks to an unusual phenomenon - the red endemic plant macarenia clavigera that grows at the bottom of the river. Other colors come from black stone, green algae, blue water and yellow sand, creating a divine effect that is certainly unique in the world.

The river is also rich in caves, waterfalls and circular pools whose creation was taken care of by the rocks that fell into the water, and later the water current, which did a finer part of the work, which makes the whole effect even more fairytale-like. In addition, fish and other aquatic creatures do not live here, so visitors can swim without any fear.

The river in five colors attracts an increasing number of tourists every year, and the best period to visit is from July to November, because at that time it takes on the colors that make it specific in the world.
