Day 3
Natural Pools
Following breakfast, it's off to explore the Los Pozos Naturales (natural water wells). A peaceful and relaxing location for a swim. Here you can dive into the natural pools that have been carved into the rocks by the water over thousands of years. The minerals and vegetation of the area make the tones of the water change from yellow to red, to brown, and to black. So when submerged the color of your skin changes and varies. Some of these water holes actually have a depth of 8 meters.
After your harmonious morning, you'll be taken back to your hotel for your last lunch in this magic place, before your flight back to reality. You'll have time to remember the great memories and share some photos with your new friends from Guaviare.
