Poço Azul
A cave lake where you can snorkel. Ancient animal bone fossils are visible underwater, and the water glows sapphire blue when sunlight enters.
Poço Azul is a water-filled limestone cave near Nova Redenção. Its water is a deep blue with excellent visibility. Unlike Poço Encantado, here you may snorkel while wearing a life jacket, though diving is not allowed. From the surface you can see the rocks on the lake bed and the fossil bones of extinct large mammals. Sunlight reaches the water mainly around midday. The ticket, which includes snorkelling gear, costs about 50 to 80 reais, and the number of visitors is limited. It is usually combined with Poço Encantado in a day trip. From Lençóis the full day takes about 10 to 11 hours.
