Remanso del río Puangue con un cerro cubierto de matorral nativo al fondo y una roca grande en la orilla

Aguas tranquilas de la poza que reflejan el cielo, con juncos y una roca dentro del agua

Orilla de piedras con flores amarillas junto a la poza, con cerros y montañas al fondo

El río Puangue corriendo entre vegetación al pie de un cerro verde

Camino de tierra y árboles, con un espino en flor, en la explanada cercana a la poza

Explanada con arbustos en flor y laderas con rocas junto a la poza

Cerros verdes bajo un cielo con nubes, vistos desde la poza

Poza El Crucero is the town's swimming hole: a stretch of calm water on the Puangue River, north of Curacaví and about 16 km in a straight line from the center, where you can swim. It sits in a part of the valley ringed by hills covered in native scrub and cacti, with stony banks and streamside vegetation. Access is free. The last stretch of the way is a dirt road and, near the water, there is a flat clearing with trees beside the road. It's a place to swim, look at the water, walk along the bank and take photos at an easy pace. The photos on this page are from October 2026, in spring, with shrubs in bloom and yellow flowers along the bank; the flow and the colors of the landscape change through the year.

Before you go

You can swim here, but it is a river in a rural area: the depth and the current change through the year, and we have no confirmed information about facilities, restrooms or lifeguards. Enter with care and keep an eye on children. The last stretch of the road is dirt. Bring water, sunscreen and comfortable shoes, and take your trash with you.
