THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RIVER IN THE WORLD by Maria Alejandra Vallejo

CAÑO CRISTALES RIVER

Caño Cristales is a Colombian river located in the Serrania de la Macarena in the province of Meta. The river is commonly called "The River of Five Colors", and is even referred to as the most beautiful river in the world due to its striking colors.
The river appears to have many colors, including yellow, green, blue, black, and most importantly red, due to the Macarenia Clavigera, a kind of algae at the bottom of the river.
This algae responsible for the unique appearance of Caño Cristales
