The Poço Verde(Green pool) with green water is a captivating natural feature that combines the beauty of cascading water with the striking hue of green. This type of pool is typically formed at the base of a waterfall, where the water collects and creates a serene and picturesque environment.

The green color of the water in such a pool is often a result of natural processes or environmental factors. It can be caused by the presence of minerals, algae, or vegetation in the water, giving it a unique and enchanting appearance.
