Born in Macarena´s mountains hearth and extends for a hundred kilometers to finally surrender to the Guayabero River, where it loses all its colors. Its stunning beauty is such that it seemed that gods had created this wonderful place to appreciate even more the beauty of paradise.
The river contains rock formations of more than 1200 million years which are an extension of the "Guyanese Shield" of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana and are considered as the oldest on the planet, are also causing the stream is full of waterfalls, caves and soft rock wells that become authentic natural pools.

Although it certainly seemed like a place out of paradise, the reason for this wonder is none other than the existence of endemic aquatic plants similar to the algae called Macarenia clavigera which grow green at first but due to their constant interaction with the sun they change colors until reaching the characteristic pink of the river, which is the most abundant color.
The river is completely fishless but it is home to thousands of birds and amphibians for which it is a fundamental part of its development.

Perdido en una selva tropical húmeda, en la Serranía de la Macarena, se encuentra un espacio mágico y abundante en hermosura, el río de los siete colores, Caño Cristales, catalogado como el mas hermoso del mundo por la revista National Geographic, nace en el corazón de la Serranía de la Macarena y se extiende por cien kilómetros para finalmente rendirse ante el río Guayabero, lugar donde pierde todos sus colores. Su despampanante hermosura es tal que pareciese que los dioses hubiesen creado este maravilloso lugar para que apreciáramos aun mas la hermosura del paraíso.
El río contiene formaciones rocosas de mas de 1200 millones de años las cuales son una prolongación del "Escudo Guyanés" de Venezuela, Brasil y Guyana y están consideradas como las mas antiguas del planeta, también son las causantes de que el riachuelo se encuentre colmado de cascadas, cuevas, saltos y pozos de roca suave que se convierten en autenticas piscinas naturales. Sus aguas son tan cristalinas que el fondo se puede apreciar con toda nitidez, mostrando una excepcional paleta de colores que se vuelven inmediatamente un deleite ante los ojos de cualquiera que lo observe.
Las tradiciones cuentan que un día en uno de sus recorridos el arco iris decidió descansar y vertió sus colores sobre las aguas de Caño Cristales, al partir decidió dejar parte de su hermosura en el afluente convirtiéndolo así en un espectáculo de la naturaleza, algunos otros lugareños tienen su propia historia y dicen que este río era el favorito de los dioses quienes disfrutaban al máximo entre sus aguas cristalinas, sin embargo, un día y sin alguna razón aparente este decidió escaparse del edén y vino a parar en la hermosa sierra de la Macarena.
Aunque ciertamente pareciese un lugar salido del paraíso la razón de esta maravilla no es otra si no la existencia de plantas acuáticas endémicas parecidas a las algas llamadas Macarenia clavígera las cuales crecen verdes en un principio pero debido a su constante interacción con el sol van cambiando de colores hasta llegar al rosado característico del río, el cual es color mas abundante.
El río carece completamente de peces pero es el hogar de miles de aves y anfibios para los cuales constituye parte fundamental de su desarrollo.
Caño Cristales fue catalogado como patrimonio de la humanidad y recibe anualmente miles de turistas de todo el mundo, lo meses mas indicados para visitar este lugar son de Junio a Diciembre ya que es la época del año donde la mayor parte de las plantas han crecido y variado su color, con lo cual podrás disfrutar al máximo su hermosura.
