Enjoying the landscape
Above all, the most important thing is to sit down on one of the benches at the viewpoint, relax, and take in this natural wonder. It’s a wild and beautiful place that reminds you of how nature can always surprise us.
From a distance, you can admire the geyser effect created by the water rushing in and out, evoking the breath of a whale. All of it surrounded by blue sea and dark volcanic rock. Up close, the natural pool steals the show—its movement, filling and emptying again and again in an endless rhythm.
