| Brief Description |
Las Grietas, Galapagos, which means «the cracks,» is a location on the island of Santa Cruz. 10-14 meter deep brackish lagoon is situated between two imposing cliffs that were created by an earthen fissure. If you’ve forgotten what brackish water is, it’s the mixture of fresh and salt water. On one side, a freshwater river feeds the pool, and on the other, the ocean. It’s a well-liked swimming hole for both locals and visitors, and it’s a truly distinctive place to spend some time cooling off in the refreshing waters.
