Great pics Marilyn, thanks.

We recently did a road trip of this area and I have to say that for me, the SW is the most spectacular part of the country and I cant wait to go back.

Too bad we missed that water hole on the Oviedo-Pedernales highway...I am trying to cast my mind back a few weeks, albei without success.

Seeing your pics made me long to be there again.

There are three water holes on this spot, but only one is safe, one is too deep (more than a 15ft drop and I saw young guys diving from this one so i know is very deep) and the other too shallow. You can't miss them, they right on the side of the main highway about 3-5 kms on the highway Pedernales-Oviedo. There's a small sign that says "Pozos de Romeo", just jump the fence on the side of the road, walk a few steps and dive in.

Thanks, hope to get back there soon and will be sure to look out for them.

There is a little entrance where you can drive you vehicle into and park. My recommendation is to go early in day because at dusk alot of mosquitoes come out. This is an excellent stop before going to Pedernales/Bahia. If you head back early this is a great place to wash off the sand, again it should be early in the afternoon.

I have been down that way a couple of times, long ago...It seems that it might be interesting for the pair of us to try it again...

Your photos are very encouraging...Thanks

I really recommend going to Los Pozos, then Bahia and staying the night at Hotel D'Oleo Mendez. That is a nice, inexpensive trip and you can head back in the morning without rushing.

I agree with you, D'oleo Mendez also has an excellent kitchen and a tree-shaded patio which doubles are eating area. It's one of my favorite places to eat, but I think he's selling it or sold it already.

The wife told me that she just couldn't get enough help. Can you believe it?

anyway it's recommended here.

Hey Marilyn...
Beautiful pics. I missed the watering holes as well. Will be sure to check them out on the next trip.
