Caño Cristales
Caño Cristales is a Colombian river located in the Serrania de la Macarena province of Meta. The river is commonly called "The River of Five Colors" or "The Liquid Rainbow", and is even referred to as the most beautiful river in the world due to its striking colors. The river appears in many colors, including yellow, green, blue, black, and especially red caused by the Macarenia clavigera (Podostemaceae) at the bottom of the river. Geology[edit] The rocks of the Macarenia date back 1.2 billion years. They are a western extension of the Guiana Shield of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil, whose rocks are considered to be among the oldest in the world. In the jungle of the Macarenia, plants struggle to find nutrients in the soil, while a population of various fungi help break down the trunks of fallen trees. The small circular pits, -giant's kettle- that characterize the river bed, have been formed by pebbles or chunks of highly dense minerals. Fauna and flora[edit] Macarenia clavigera up close
