They
are located in the mountain Cerro de las Animas and its access
is located in km 94 of route 9, behind the position of road
Police. Some does not exist signaling, reason why the power
station of by hand right Ute of the traveller is due to take
like reference.
After crossing the doorman and journeying 400 meters, arrive
to the Center of Visitors of the nongovernmental organization
of Tecoguazu. The purpose of this organization is to contribute
to the sustainable development of the region. There, during
the week ends of March to December and every day of summer it
is possible to undertake the way towards wells, located to about
four kilometers of distance.
The route begins with one slight ascent, by an ample footpath
and delimited clearly. Immediately later one goes below pylons.
Backwards the sea is seen, in as much towards the left the native
vegetation is located by hand right and a forest of eucalyptuses.
The way becomes narrower and minutes later is a natural canal,
where, at times of rain, the water runs. Immediately the traveller
goes into underneath a thick native grove where certain humidity
is perceived, the air is fresh and flutter of the birds is listened
to. So single on two ocassions the grove is interrupted to begin
meters again advanced more. The narrow footpath is stony, winding
and in short steep incline continuous. When culminating the
passage under the forest, is journeyed by great orange rocks
that make difficult the march. From a beautiful landscape of
the coast and hills of the surroundings is appraised, being
located the place to about 250 meters of altitude above sea
level there. The rocky footpath tour towards the right and appears
rocks of gray color. The departure point is distinguished and
the dense vegetation, that was left back, covering the skirts
with hills. Towards the right, they appear the undulations of
the imposing mountain range.
The traveller journeys then by the Cerro Chico, that has a peak
altitude of 350 meters. One is due to continue by the footpath
marked between rocks, where the ascent less is accentuated than
in the previous section. Although who exhausts itself he will
be able to make a pause to enjoy the landscape. the footpath
approaches a fencing that delimits the mountain range. Few meters
but ahead are observed that the fencing continues straight in
the direction of the viewpoint, whereas the footpath is turned
aside towards the right, course to low between the viewpoint
and the other top to its right. It is recommended to continue
by the footpath, until the end of the same one. There another
fencing is located that crosses the low one, from the viewpoint
to the top located to the right. From this place, it is possible
to be ascended to the viewpoint, in which important rocks stand
out and where it is enjoyed the best panoramic view in the mountain
Cerro de las Animas. The landscaping value of this panoramic
point is unquestionable.
In order to continue until Pozos Azules -Blue Wells-, one is
due to cross the fencing in North direction and to begin to
descend until the gorge. The first section is advisable to journey
it to few meters of the fencing, that is located to the right
of the traveller. A footpath marked until wells exists, although
it is due to be careful because the more accentuated this one,
the more dangerous it can be to journey it. The traveller can
slip and fall because of small dispersed stones in the footpath.
Therefore, a new way can be tried, as long as not desvie of
the main one. Minutes after beginning the descent, the fencing
turns towards the right. One is due to leave the course of the
fencing and to continue the descent by the footpath. Towards
the right, the hill is seen Cerro Pan de Azúcar with
its characteristic cross in the top. The footpath has one slight
deviation towards the right and it sees solitary trees next
to ample gray rocks that serve as reference to the traveller.
Minutes later, in the middle of the spectacular gorge, a great
eucalyptus emerges from the dense native forest. This older
tree serves as reference, since it is next to the Cañada
Colorada. The water that runs by this gorge is the one that
forms the refrescantes natural lagoons.
To the few minutes the way goes into in the shade of the forest.
There they appear several marked footpaths to follow. It is
advised to go towards the left, and soon and after advancing
about 100 meters it will be arrived at the Gran Pozo. From it
is possible here to follow the route of the dell one and to
discover new wells. It is worth the trouble to remain awhile
in wells, resting of the exhausting long walk. Who wishes it
will be able to do picnic in the place, without damage the natural
atmosphere. The return is hard reason why it is recommended
to make a stop before starting off.
