Kind staff, tasty drinks and very good value for money.

Pogallo River Natural Pools

Highlight • River

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.

Pogallo Abandoned Village

Highlight • Settlement

Pogallo is an old lumberjack village set on a beautiful green terrace, exposed to the sun. The village is responsible for what is now called the great deforestation of the early 20th century.
Although this set of buildings is still standing, few souls live there all year round. Indeed Pogallo is very isolated and accessible only on foot, by the mule path which goes into the canyon of the Pogallo river.

Hikers take note: the Pogallo lawns are a wonderful picnic spot. You can also find a drinking water fountain which is also indicated by signs.
