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.
