Leap into this deep mountain pool, which shines turquoise in the sun. On the upper reaches of the Hampstead River, the swimming hole even has a natural water slide, a chute of smooth, chafe-free rock! Pack a picnic and wear shoes suitable for the moderate rain forest hike in (1–2 hours roundtrip, depending on your route).

This delightful spot is on the upper reaches of the Hampstead River. Located on the outskirts of the community of Bense, the trail is well marked, and goes down to the confluence of two rivers. You need to cross the first river to get to the pool.

Look out for parrots en route!
