The pool can be very busy in midday, less busy in the early morning or late afternoon. Blue pool, it is a beautiful and picturesque blue colored pond another 600 meters further upstream from the Emerald Pool. It is not possible to swim here because of muddy quicksand. The pool is reached by following a trail that starts from the entrance. The trail branches in two directions and rejoins at the first major pool. The right branch is on a boardwalk along the stream, perhaps more interesting.
