Most people visit the Blyde River Canyon from above via the Panorama Route. We did the same thing a few days ago. Now it is time to explore the 3rd largest canyon in the world from below. The Blyde River Canyon is the largest green canyon in the world. The lush jungle inside the canyon is the home of a large variety of animals. From baboons, monkeys and even leopards to water animals like crocodiles and hippos. An interesting fact our guide told us was related to the color of the water. From the Three Rondavel Viewpoint up above the river looked blue because it reflects the sky. But from below the river looks different because the reflection of the green canyon walls give it a more greenish look.
