cano cristales印象

It is beautifully exotic. Safe hiking, unique sightseeing and great swimming by wonderful waterfalls. Red subaquatic plants give an extraordinary touch to the river and all surroundings.

Caño Cristales is a river located in the Macarena province in Clombia. The river is commonly called "The River of Five Colours" or "The Liquid Rainbow", and is even referred to as the most beautiful river in the world due to its striking colours. The river from July - November is flushed in gaudy colours, including yellow, green, blue, black, and especially red, the last caused by the Macarenia clavigera.Caño Cristales is not a destination for the unlucky traveller. You need days without rain. It rains there. If it rains a lot, you need a day or so for the water to clear. A clear day, or so, lets the water be crystal clear. And the plants blooms with the sun, reds and pinks near the surface, greens yellows and fuchsias at more depth (hence less sun). With sun, you see it in its full glory. With rain, well, not.For the lucky traveller, it is fantastic. It is a unique place. No where else in the world because of the combination of this plant and the chemistry of the rocks. Even nearby gorges do not have it, only here. It is special and they are trying to preserve it as a protected Park. You need to be guided in the Park. Remember, to be lucky you want the sun, but the sun can be blazing hot. No sunscreen allowed (so a lucky traveller should bring or buy at hat with neck cover). A solid rain pouch for the unlucky traveller. No insect repellent is allowed either (though mosquitoes are not a problem there anyway). No smoking allowed in the Park.Only in the last 5 years has it become more accessible. Now a dug out canoe and 4x4 over rough terrain takes you 8 of the 10 kilometres. Primitive unmarked trails take you the rest of the way. A good pair of waterproof hiking boots are a must. The local tour operators have it well organized now, though expensive. Relatively few people have seen this wonder. Only 60-100 per day and given its season (July to December) this is only a few thousand per year and they are controlling the group sizes and visitors to protect it.I was one of the lucky travellers and got to see it in its full glory.

If you like adventure then go.... It looks like you have to be able to jump many obstacles to get there, but it is so fun. It is the way that Nature keeps this fare away and protected from the lazy and crauded turism. What a place..my best recommendation: Look for a good tourist operator that organize and guide you there.

This a a small river which has some plants that only blossom from September to December in the Southern part of Colombia. It is a natural wonder, but be prepared for some roughness. This area hasn't been developed yet. Only one hotel, no good restaurants and a greta camping experience.

We (wife, brother, sister in law, and I) drove from Bogota to Villavicencio great highway (do not speed in the tunnels, there are speeding cameras), spent the night at Villavicencio Plaza had cocktails in the roof bar, very cool. Had "mamona" for dinner in a local restaurant that is the typical dish in Villavicencio. Next day early morning we drove to the VIllavicencio airport left the car there. We embarked in a cargo military plane awesome experience, arrived to La Macarena, the tour people took us to our hotel, comfortable, clean, nothing fancy, then our guide took us to get our fiambre (lunch), from there to the river, after a short ride in a boat, then to the 4x4s, about 20 minutes ride, then we walk for another 20, and then...WOW!!! Caño Cristales!!!! Breathtaking and Spectacular. Worth every penny. The next day we did it again and flew back in a a five passenger airplane... to add to the experience! We loved every minute of it....had great pictures. You need to go, trust me is worth it. We used WWW.Cano-cristales.com Their service was great our contact was Ewa.

This is and odd place to be on the earth.. But I regret that some pictures show what is contrary to the firts and one of the most important advices you have when arrived there.. Do not dare to touch the water species!! It is like break down a piece of sea coral to feel how is it...Please be aware of this to keep this landmark as it is.. Wild, wonderful.. Unique, clean and reserve for adventure..

First, the "dangerous" and "go only with a tour agency" are not true anymore.For years this place was off limits, and now one can visit it again.You can go with a tour agency from Bogota or Villavicencio but it's best to go by yourself and arrange a guide there, you'll have more flexibility. There are flights from Bogota and Villavicencio.Caño Cristales can only be visited with a guide, but this is for ecological reasons. Arranging a guide and finding a hotel in La Macarena is easy, and gives more flexibility, especially f you have a rainy day.Also, allow at least 3 full days in La Macarena to visit all the places. When it rains, there's no point in visiting anything. I spent almost a week there and I think it's the right amount of time.

Don´t go by yourself. It´s a very dangerous place, as it is near of the guerrilla´s red zone
