Kanyo Kristales - the most beautiful river on Earth

Kanyo-Kristales translated means "Crystal River". It originates in the south of the Macarena mountain range, and at the end of its journey it flows into the Guayabero River.

Locals also call Caño Cristales a river of five colors, because at the bottom you can see shades such as green, blue, red, yellow and black. Such color splendor is created by numerous algae, which can change the color saturation depending on the time of year.

This river is filled with so clear water that even at great depths the bottom is visible.

Chemical analysis also confirms the unsurpassed purity of water. Moreover, it can even be called distilled.

Salts and minerals in the waters of this river are completely absent, which makes it unsuitable for drinking.

For the same reason, and also because of the special characteristics of the channel, fish are not found here.

Algae acquire the most saturated colors in the summer, so it is best to visit the park from June to November.

Canyo Cristales is not in vain considered one of the most beautiful rivers in the world. Having seen her at least once, you will admire her uniqueness and impressive magnificence.

Getting to this extraordinary natural attraction is not easy. First, you have to fly by helicopter to the Macarena National Park, sail by boat, and then walk along difficult, unpopular trails.

Colorful algae turn the bottom of the river into an amazing soft carpet.

The Caño Cristales River is surrounded by the eponymous national park.

In some sections of the river, bottom irregularities look like round deep wells, they are called "Moyas".

Swim here is a must. The water here seems to have miraculous power: thoughts in the head immediately disappear, a state of lightness and peace sets in.

The state of peace contributes to the complete absence of people. There is only the jungle, warmed in the sun, stones covered with moss, a blue sky and the twittering of birds.
