Natural Pool (Conchi)
Conchi
A natural seawater pool on the north coast, enclosed by volcanic rock, with huge waves crashing outside and calm water inside. It can only be reached by 4x4, on horseback or on foot.
Conchi lies on the north shore of Arikok National Park. A ring of volcanic rock encloses a small pool of seawater, while big waves occasionally break over the rocks and into the pool, a spectacular sight. Snorkelling is possible inside, where small fish can be seen. The only access is via a steep gravel track: by four-wheel-drive vehicle, on horseback, or on foot from the visitor centre, about 1.5 hours away. The rocks are slippery and sharp, so wear water shoes. When waves are high the park closes the pool to swimmers, so follow the rangers' instructions.
