Overview

Pozos Azules, a captivating set of artificial lagoons, lies a short distance from the charming colonial town of Villa de Leyva, Colombia. Set against the backdrop of an arid desert landscape, these pools offer a striking contrast with their vibrant and unusual colors.The distinct hues of the Pozos Azules, ranging from greenish-blue to intense reddish-orange, are attributed to the presence of various minerals such as selenium and sulfur in the soil. Rainwater runoff interacts with these minerals, creating the unique coloration that has developed over approximately five years in each pool. There are currently three sectors of blue wells. Swimming is not allowed in the pools.Located on a 60-hectare private property, visitors can explore the area on foot or horseback. The best time to visit is on a clear, sunny day, as the colors are most vibrant under these conditions. Many visitors bring refreshments to enjoy while taking in the views.
