The Tuela River has created a small natural reservoir of clear waters at this location, ideal for water activities. The area has undergone improvements aimed at optimizing the visitor experience. Interventions have been carried out to facilitate access and stay, including the placement of sand along the riverbank and the creation of a walkway that allows for a more comfortable path to the bathing area. The beach offers areas of shallower depth, suitable for different age groups, and a more rocky area, which can be used for diving.
