Poza de los Patos

Poza de los Patos is a natural swimming pool formed by the Chillar River in Nerja, Málaga, surrounded by limestone rock formations and crystal-clear waters that create a perfect spot for bathing and relaxation.

The natural pool was formed over thousands of years through the erosive action of the Chillar River on the limestone rocks of the Sierra Almijara, creating this geological formation that has been used by local communities for decades.

This natural site forms part of the Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, representing an important recreational space for hikers and nature lovers who follow the traditional Chillar River route through the protected landscape.

To reach the pool, visitors must complete a six-kilometer aquatic hiking route along the Chillar River, wearing appropriate non-slip footwear and bringing swimwear, towels, and sun protection for the journey.

The pool is located in a narrow gorge where visitors can touch both rock walls with their arms extended, creating an intimate natural corridor that leads to the calm waters.
