A psychedelic swirl of improbability, the Caño Cristales is sometimes
called “the world’s most beautiful river,” and with good reason: It is
the host to a dizzying array of colors that result from pockets of algae
that bloom during the height of summer. Aquamarines push up against
eddies of red and fingers of yellow cut through pockets of bright green
in this river in Northern Colombia. At less than 100 kilometers long,
and rarely more than 20 meters wide, this compact slice of river offers a
kaleidoscope of otherworldly experiences – but it is not easy to get
to: you’ll need to fly from Villavicencio to Macarena, then take a boat
and cut through unmarked trails in order to find this jungle jewel of a
river.
