It is not so easy to get to the river, it is necessary to fly by plane from Vilvisensio to Macarena, later you will have to overcome a decent distance by boat, and then go on your own two on difficult trails and trails until this natural miracle.
Kristales flows in the jungle, and its length does not reach 100 km, and in width it is no more - 20 meters, because the river can not be considered large.
But this river has the most amazing track: a continuous line of aspens, noisy waterfalls, colored whirlpools and deep depressions. And the water in the river is so clean that you can see even the smallest pebbles. However, you will not see the fish in the river, it just does not survive in such conditions. And what kind of fish can live in such pools ...
