Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Paradera, start by heading north on the main road, which is also known as the L.G. Smith Boulevard. Continue walking for about 20 minutes until you reach the intersection with the road that leads to Santa Cruz. Look for signs pointing toward the Natural Pool. Turn right onto the road leading to Santa Cruz, and follow it for another 15-20 minutes. As you approach Santa Cruz, you will see signs indicating the direction to the Natural Pool. Once you reach the entrance, you may need to walk a short distance on foot to reach the Natural Pool itself.

• Bicycle

  If you have access to a bicycle, start at the center of Paradera and ride north on L.G. Smith Boulevard. Continue for about 20 minutes until you reach the intersection for Santa Cruz. Turn right and follow the signs for Santa Cruz. Ride for another 15-20 minutes, and keep an eye out for signs to the Natural Pool. You might have to park your bicycle and walk the last part to the Natural Pool, but the ride will give you a scenic view of the area.

• Local Bus

  From Paradera, you can take a local bus that heads toward Santa Cruz. Look for the bus stop along the main road. Once on the bus, inform the driver that you're heading to Santa Cruz. After about 30 minutes, the bus will drop you off near the center of Santa Cruz. From there, follow the signs to the Natural Pool, which is a short walk away. Make sure to check the bus schedule for return times, as they may vary.
