Colombia Bolívar

Pozo Azul

A scenic natural swimming hole located in the Bolívar Department of Colombia, featuring clear blue waters and popular among locals and tourists.

Tips from the community

Natural swimming holes are abundant around the mountain town of Minca, and Pozo Azul is by far the grandest one. Some will walk, some will ride motorcycles, some will hire moto taxis by locals who look like they might not be old enough to drive. You’ll make it one way or another. It’s only about 10 minutes from town, plus a bit of a hike down from the road to step foot on the banks of the river. The water is a bit chilly, but undeniably refreshing at the same time, and you can’t beat the surroundings. Even though wet feet + gym shoes = hell, I highly recommend wearing them for the hike there and back so you don’t twist an ankle on a rock and ruin the whole day.
