Caño Cristales 4x4 Adventure
About this adventure
An incredible trip to the Sierra de La Macarena, where we'll visit not only the world's most beautiful river but also huge waterfalls and other creeks full of the amazing aquatic plants that color the water.
Caño Canoas, Caño Yarumales, Caño Siete Machos and Caño Cristales: a complete experience enjoying all these places in the department of Meta.
Places everyone should see. We're opening dates for this 4x4 adventure to discover the best of this famous area and the little-known places around it, diving into the history and lush beauty of the world's loveliest rivers.

Caño Canoas: 5 waterfalls in one place with a pool for a refreshing swim.
Caño Yarumales: natural water slides, history, possible monkey sightings and a canoe ride.
Caño Siete Machos: one of the pools most similar to Caño Cristales, with jumps into clear water, green and red plants and a unique landscape of waterfalls and mountains.
Caño Cristales: needs no introduction, simply the most beautiful river in the world.
