Cano Cristales is a Colombian river located in the Serrania de la Macarena, Meta Department. The river is commonly called The River of Five Colors, The Liquid Rainbow or even The Most Beautiful River in the World due to its striking colors like yellow, green, blue, black, and especially the red of the Macarenia clavigera at the bottom of the river giving it a unique appearance. For most of the year, Cano Cristales is indistinguishable from any other river: a bed of rocks covered in dull green mosses are visible below a cool, clear current.
Las Lajas Sanctuary is a minor basilica church located in the southern Colombian Department of Narino, municipality of Ipiales and built inside the canyon of the Guaitara River. The present church was built in Gothic Revival style in 1949. The name Laja comes from the name of a type of flat sedimentary rock similar to shale.
