Rio Caño Cristales – The Most Colorful River in the World

Rio Caño Cristales - The Most Colorful River in the World

During certain months of the year, the Rio Caño Cristales river gets overgrown with algae that turns the river bed into painters canvas full of bright colors. As the water flows over the algae, it creates a spectacular scene that gave the Rio Caño Cristales its nickname of “The Most Colorful River in the World“.

Rio Caño Cristales, which is often referred to as the most beautiful river in the world is located near the town of Sierra de La Macarena, in the municipality of the same name, in Meta, Colombia. Yeah, I know – the most colorful river in the world may offer some of the most amazing photo opportunities, but you’d have to stroll through the backyard of one of the most dangerous countries in the world. If the premise of being kidnapped and held captive in the middle of the jungle while your captors are plotting another drug bust appeals to you, then perhaps the adventure of photographing the most colourful river in the world could be for you. Otherwise, I’d just stick with this post and enjoy the photos of Rio Caño Cristales taken by the dare devils before you who somehow managed to get out of Colombia alive.
