The tourists who were once in Colombia and who have seen the river Caño Cristales with their own eyes, agree that it is the most beautiful river on earth. The different types of water plants color the river into the rich colors, which is why the river looks like a rippling stream of randomly shed colors. In some places, the river floor is bright pink, and in the others it is sparkling green. Some aquatic plants are pale yellow, and the others - deep black. The rare blue water plants also grow in the river.
The experienced travelers claim that the river Caño Cristales looks the most beautiful during the summer season. To the other seasons a trip to the river but also very exciting. Taking care that the river has a very complicated riverbed, some places seem simply beautiful. The numerous waterfalls, the slopes and the coasts covered with the giant stones give the river a fantastic shape. At first sight, the sea water seems to be rather cloudy because of the various water plants. In reality, Caño Cristales is one of the purest rivers in the world.
The river is characterized by its impressive size. Its length is about 100 km, and the maximum width reaches 20 meters. On some stretches of river you can go with the small cutter or boat, which allows to see a multi-colored waterbed carpet covering its ground. In the unique river, which looks like a 'liquid rainbow', you can bathe. In some places the beautiful natural wells have formed with the crystalline water.
