Pozas of Vagante

 

The Pozas of Vagante are about the best place to go for a swim in the area, because the river is crystal-clear and has some deep natural swimming holes.

It’s also a good destination for a small trekking. The road and trails there lead through orange yards, along a Hacienda House and old coca fields. Then you go down into the riverside forest with abundant butterflies and birds. Once there, have a swim and a pick-nick. If you don’t feel like walking a long way uphill, arrange a pick up. The more adventurous among us should follow the river upstream to a small canyon with a secluded natural bubble bath. More difficult is a four hour trip downriver, passing the beautiful Rio Negro waterfall and its huge natural pool, the whole time walking in the river surrounded by forest.
