Poço Azul, Natural pool complex in Riachão, Brazil.
Located in the Chapada das Mesas region, Poço Azul features crystalline waters reaching depths of 6 meters within natural limestone formations.
The site gained recognition in the 1990s when local residents discovered its potential for tourism while exploring the Chapada das Mesas territory.
The Santa Barbara Cave near Poço Azul contains religious imagery and serves as a spiritual destination for regional Catholic communities.
The complex maintains wooden walkways connecting various waterfalls, with entrance fees including access to multiple swimming areas and natural attractions.
The pool's distinctive blue color results from mineral deposits and specific light refraction through exceptionally clear water filtered by surrounding rocks.
