You arrive on a sun-warmed track and the forest leans in: ferns brush your calves, birds call ahead, and a distant roar promises cool water. The trail down to Las Pailas at Pozo Azul drops through secondary rainforest to a series of three turquoise pools that catch the light like polished glass. The first pool is shallow and welcoming; deeper basins wait further along for swimming and optional cliff jumps that test your nerve more than your skill.

El Valle de Antón sits inside the rim of an extinct volcano; the caldera’s fertile soils supported small-scale farming and a weekend ecotourism scene that grew in the 20th century.
Pools are sensitive to soaps and sunblock—use biodegradable products and pack out trash; local guides help limit erosion by staying on established trails.
