A clear, flooded cave pool in the Chapada Diamantina, visited by swimmers and snorkellers, where cave divers recovered an exceptional Ice Age mammal fauna in 2005. No current scuba access is documented.
Visitors reach the water by a wooden staircase and platform inside the sinkhole and swim or snorkel wearing life jackets; around midday for much of the year a shaft of sunlight lights the pool. Check-in is at a restaurant in the village of Piruca, Nova Redenção.
For divers, Poço Azul is significant as the place where a specialised cave-diving team recovered fossils in 2005 from up to 16.5 m, including a nearly complete giant ground sloth now held by the Museu de Ciências Naturais PUC Minas. No source reviewed describes recreational scuba diving here.
