About this experience
El Pozo Azul is a natural attraction located in El Valle de Antón, a small mountainous town in the Coclé province of Panama. This place is known for its stunning scenic beauty and crystal-clear waters, which have a deep blue color that gives it its name. El Pozo Azul is actually a series of pools and waterfalls found in an area surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.
Main features:
Crystal-clear waters: The water at Pozo Azul is transparent and has a turquoise hue that invites swimming, making it an excellent spot for ecotourism and nature lovers. Although access is relatively easy, it can be slippery due to moisture and the rocky terrain.
Waterfalls: In addition to the crystal-clear pools, the site also features waterfalls that create a refreshing and relaxing environment. The sound of water cascading over the rocks and the shade of nearby trees provide a peaceful and natural atmosphere.
