Blue Pools
Blue swimming pools – how many do you want to explore?
Right now, we can offer you at least twelve blue pools. But we know there are more. One day, we will try to create an inventory of all eligible swimming pools. But for now, we want to share the most well-known ones.
Poza Azul
The most well-known swimming pool so far. Easily accessible with only a few steps, very spacious, and, importantly, with a very gentle increase in depth. So, anyone, even your little ones, can enjoy a blue swimming pool here. The depth increases slowly but steadily until you reach the end of the rapids. Currents here are stronger; be very careful. With the lush green forest around, it is an excellent photogenic spot.
Note: 37 steps down (1-way).
Upper river
At least three places to swim in the upper river near Tepezquintle. First, of course, at the Tepezquintle waterfall itself. But check the other spots too. Ask the tour guide where it’s safe to take a dip.
Las Gemelas
At the Las Gemelas waterfalls, you can splash around in three pools. Just be very careful in the swimming pool after Las Gemelas. When the water tumbles into the pool, the currents can be strong and treacherous. So please don’t let your kids swim here.
La Celestial
A very popular spot for a swim in this wonderful blue waterfall. If the waterfall is flowing strongly, stay away. Please ask the tour guide. Enjoy, and be careful.
Lower section
The lower section of the river offers a few nice swimming pools; the one at La Turquesa is a must-do.
The one at La Pintada is out of reach, so a no-go.
And there are a few more pools after the La Pintada, but we don’t recommend them yet, maybe in 2028. No trails, no supervising and their is also an inlet for a hydroelectric plant what is extremely dangerous.
Note One:
We are working to make all the other blue swimming spots accessible by 2028.
Note Two:
There are also four or five other swimming spots in the white river. You can find one to the left of the first bridge and the second after the bridge, following the seating sign. Just another 50 meters ahead. If you are looking for a private spot, this is the one. Regarding the rest, we will make them available by 2028.
