Las Gachas - Swimming Holes
Las Gachas are a series of natural rock pools located in the municipality of Guadalupe, Santander, Colombia. The pools are formed by the Chicamocha River, which has carved its way through the bedrock over millions of years. The pools are filled with clear, blue water, and they range in size from a few feet to several meters in diameter.
The pools are named after the "gachas", which are the local name for the small, round stones that are found in the bottom of the pools. The stones are said to have healing properties, and people come from all over Colombia to bathe in the pools.
Las Gachas are a popular tourist destination, and they are especially popular during the summer months. Visitors to Las Gachas can swim in the pools, sunbathe on the rocks, and hike in the surrounding area.
Here are some other interesting facts about Las Gachas:
  • The pools are located at an altitude of 2,000 meters (6,562 feet) above sea level.
  • The water in the pools is about 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • The pools are open year-round, but they are busiest during the summer months.
