Not only are the pools beautiful and serene, but the nearby town of Lanquin is a treat to explore. Several great hostels & the Lanquin Caves are a MUST. One of the most exhilarating experiences of my life! I stayed at El Retiro and took their tour -- wonderful guide and we got to go tubing down the river.

Took the day hike in April 2017 with OX -- so beautiful!! Don't forget sunscreen, easy to get sunburnt at 13,000 ft (even with cloud coverage). Also very cold at the summit, but super surreal landscape. We also got hot chocolate on the way up :)
