Cano Cristales The Rainbow River- Amazing Photos


Cano Cristales The Rainbow River- Amazing Photos

Cano Cristales lies in the Serrania de La Macarena, Colombia. Often called “the most beautiful river in the world” as well as “the river of five colors,” Cano Cristales is one of those destinations you almost have to see to believe. Cano Cristales is about 100km in length. During Colombia’s rainy season, the water flows fast and deep as rivers are wont to do.



Depending on the time of year, the amount of colorful algae found in the river gives it an impressively technicolor appearance.



Blotches of amarillo, blue, green, black, and red–and a thousand shades in between–coat the river. It is indeed a unique biological wonder.
