Those pics are incredible...But they look super saturated with the colors... I'm in Colombia right now and have seen some views that would rival those but the pics don't translate like those.

Very inspiring images.

You need a SLR camera with a slight under exposure setting and/or a polarizer filter. Phone cameras don't work well.

very nice thanks for the eye/brain experience.

Are there apps that do that for a phone camera?

Every one of those photos have undergone extensive post-processing.  Some of them also look like HDR images, which are multiple photos at different exposure values merged into one.  The processing on several of them looks similar to the "Dave Hill technique", which renders a surreal, almost cartoonish image.

No camera, no matter how much you spend or how good a photographer you are, will give you images like those straight out of the camera.  Of course you have to start out with a very high-quality image to achieve such a finished product, but none of those photos would look nearly as spectacular without all the post-processing.

I have no idea how this person did these, but they look spectacular.

Not necessarily. Some are done at right time of day which naturally show color saturation. If you combine that with a polarizer, it will make the colors very vivid. Photography is one of my hobbies. If you get the lighting just right, you'll be amazed at how different the pictures look.
