Caño Cristales
La Macarena, Meta, Colombia
Between July and November, a river turns into a rainbow. The Macarenia clavigera plant dyes the bed of Caño Cristales intense red, fuchsia, yellow, and green, in a phenomenon that occurs nowhere else in the world. You walk among pools and waterfalls with the water flowing in colors beneath your feet. Remote, protected, and hard to reach: that's why it remains one of Colombia's best-kept secrets.
