Here you’ll unwind at Pozo Azul, a natural pool and waterfall surrounded by lush greenery—perfect for a refreshing swim and photos. Late morning, continue with a panoramic drive back toward the coast and stop at the Taganga viewpoint for memorable bay views. Then visit Taganga, a traditional fishing village, and hop on a short boat ride to Playa Grande. Spend the afternoon swimming in the Caribbean Sea, relaxing on the sand, and enjoying a included lunch with your choice of protein.
