Charco Manso

A volcanic pool sheltered from the ocean

El Charco Manso is a magical place of caves, arches, and bathing areas created by natural volcanic, basalt flows. After following the winding road from the town of Echedo to the coast, the natural pool is a spectacular sight at first glance. In the area, rocks create a sheltered stretch of water which is an excellent spot for both adults and children to swim.

Nature in its purest form

With a seabed home to a multitude of fascinating creatures, lovers of a snorkel and mast will have a fabulous time in the vicinity. The rugged terrain with picturesque viewpoints is also great for hikers who want to explore. Charco Manso has a large parking area, easy access via specially built stars, a small cafeteria, and equipment for comfortable sunbathing.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the water.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
Pets are prohibited at many natural pools. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
