Visit of the colorful Caño Cristales

As every year, the Sierra de la Macarena National Park offers a unique natural spectacle that your customers should not miss: Between July and November the river Caño Cristales glistens in different colors (from light red to green), due to the aquatic plant Macarenia Clavijera that is in full colorful bloom at this time of the year. Walking along the river you can admire its crystal clear water, its waterfalls and pools. In some places you can also go for a refreshing dip in the pleasantly cool water.

For a trip to the Sierra de la Macarena we recommend at least 2 nights in La Macarena. This small town in the department of La Meta is the starting point for the excursions to the Caño Cristales, which is an about 20 minutes boat ride followed by a 2 hour hike away.
