Pozo La Gloria


A popular large swimming hole fed by a small slanted waterfall. Surrounded by lush farmland, it gets up to almost 3m deep in places and is ideal for a refreshing dip. To find it walk out of town about 1km past the gas station and look for the entrance on the left-hand side, from where it's another 700m walk to the swimming hole.
