📝 Section Description:
Pozo del Arco, located at km 5 of the Sella River, is a deep calm pool that offers one of the best spots for taking a break during the descent.
The main pool is on the right bank, although the left bank is more commonly used by paddlers to stop, thanks to a natural river beach perfect for landing, resting, or regrouping canoes.
The section upstream is typically marked by a shallower stretch, while immediately after the pool there’s a long rapid with a visible concrete block in its center that requires careful navigation.
This area is also part of the regulated salmon fishing reserve (coto salmonero), making it a popular fishing spot.
