Deep into the Colombian wilderness to find Caño Cristales, also known as "The River of Five Colors and “The liquid rainbow”, as this water has also been called, features a grand display of the color spectrum: yellow, green, blue, black, and a remarkable red hue burst through the landscape that draws in visitors from across the world. The most vibrant of these colors is the deep red, which is caused by the growth of the Macarenia clavigera, a plant that grows on the bottom of the riverbed. Depending on the time of day and amount of sunlight coming through, the Macarenia clavigera can appear anywhere from magenta, to bright red, to a deep purple. It is because of this red’s brilliance that the other colors of the river pop against nature’s backdrop.
