The source of the Rio Bueno, a cold freshwater pool surrounded by sheer cliffs, lays hidden in a green dream in the interior south of village. This is a lonely landscape, scattered with the crumbling remains and foundations of churches; the ruins certainly far outnumber tourists. There are ruins of an airstrip out this way that locals say used to be a smuggling point for ganja. To get out here you may want to ask for local help – the Hotel Rio Bueno is a good place to start. If you’re driving, head for Seaford Town, then ask for directions to the unmarked turn-off to the riverhead. You’ll have to walk the last 100m to the pool.
