Hidden Pools and Forest Feels at Pozo do Arco

#summervacay Pozo do Arco is one of those secret nature spots that feels like a total escape. It’s tucked away in the middle of the forest, and the walk to get there is part of the fun, lush greenery, birds chirping, and that fresh earthy smell all around. The trail is easy and super chill, so you don’t need to be a hiking pro to enjoy it. Once you reach the pool, it’s like stumbling onto a little paradise. Clear, cold water surrounded by rocks and trees, with a small waterfall feeding into it. You can dip your feet in or go for a full-on refreshing swim if you’re brave. It’s not a big flashy place, but that’s what makes it special. There’s usually not a crowd, just peace, shade, and the sound of water trickling over the rocks. No shops nearby, so bring water and whatever snacks you need. If you’re exploring around Pontevedra and want something quiet and wild, Pozo do Arco is a dreamy little stop.
