This swimming spot is simply magical! It is located downstream of a powerful waterfall which creates several swimming pools thanks to a flat area of the Pogallo river.

If its crystal clear, turquoise water makes you want to jump in, you will still have to work hard to put your head under the water, as it displays very cool temperatures.

The bridge that leads there is not indicated. So pay attention to the small fork that goes off to the right of the mule path.

On hot days, the site is quite busy, but don't hesitate to go down along the river, a little further down.

Super great bathing spot! 🏊‍♂️Good opportunity to refresh yourself during the tour. The short detour over the bridge is definitely worth it!

The bridge that leads to it is not indicated. So pay attention to the small crossroads that branches off to the right of the mule track.

On very hot days the site is quite busy, but don't hesitate to go down along the river, a little lower.
