SHANGRALA'S
CANO
CRISTALES
RIVER!
Cano Cristales river is located near the town of La Macarena in Colombia,
South America and is world famous for its colorful display. The Cristales
has been called 'the river that ran away to paradise', 'the most beautiful
river in the world' and 'the river of five colors'.
Information on the Atlas Obscura website notes:
'During Colombia's wet season, the water flows fast and deep, obscuring the bottom
of the river and denying the mosses and algae that call the river home the sun that
they need. And during the dry season there is not enough water to support the
dazzling array of life in the river. But during a brief span between the wet and dry
seasons, when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss
bloom in a dazzling display of colors. Blotches of amarillo, blue, green, black, and
red - and a thousand shades in between - coat the river.'
The Cano Cristales site, located about two hours walk from the town of La Macarena,
will be open to visitors until November 10, when the summer season dries out the
algae and the river loses it magnificent colours.
Here's Some Dazzling Photographs of the River. Enjoy :)
