Natural Pool
Also known as 'Conchi' or 'Cura di Tortuga', Aruba's Natural
Pool is a must-see tourist attraction. Formed from a depression in
the surrounding volcanic rock, and filled by the spray of the tide
smashing into the deserted coastline below, the Natural Pool is a
unique geological formation, and a tranquil place to spend the day
swimming in communion with the natural world. The pool is situated
in the heart of Aruba's most rugged terrain, and is inaccessible by
car; however, visitors can hire or charter a Jeep to take them
there, or hike there, or (most romantic of all) get there on
horseback. The sense of discovery, in 'finding' the Natural Pool in
the midst of the rocky, almost lunar landscape, is second-to-none.
Visitors are strongly advised to get in touch with island legend
Madi, who runs successful guided tours to Conchi from the comfort
of her Jeep.
