POÇO ENCATADO – ENCHANTED POOL
Distance from Lençóis: 150 km Time: 2 hrs by car and 5min. on foot. A large lake inside a cave. The lake is 61m deep at its deepest and due to the crystal clear water it is possible to see the bottom. The reflection of the sunlight on the water turns it an amazing electric blue. From April to September due to the position of the sun a shaft of light hits the water creating a laser effect. It is not possible to swim here for ecological reasons. |
