Balandra Basin - A hidden pool in the Balandra forest! immerse yourself in nature.

The Balandra river, which flows, through the valley, contains numerous pools of varying width and depth, the two most popular are know as the Balandra Basin.
The trek to the Basins will take about thirty minutes and starts at Alcindor Trace. The hike begins with a short walk across multiple small hills to the cleared land behind what seems to be private land.

Alan thanks to you, Jono and Dumpling, for another adventure which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would have joined Dumpling,walking without shoes to get closer to nature. I have heard about Balandra bay, but that waterfall is truly a hidden gem. What a pleasant surprise, no garbage,but you know what, now that people know where it is, it will be littered, although I prey that I am proven wrong.Thanks again, Alan. Keep showing us our beautiful country. Blessings.

[@wendygail9102]

I visited here bk in 2018 but we took a different trail, we were able to park on a private property for $40 ...we walked across the river ,had a mile uphill climb,yes,the underground was leafy, it was early morning,so it was slippery, I had a 6 year old with me and for his first hike ,he did well,our tourguide Christopher had to piggyback him out after the fun though, going down the ropes was a bit challenging for him...but he did great,and the pols early in the morning was amazing.

Free entrance😂🤣. Full rights of authority to pass through. Fantastic. So epic. So devine😘 I can see and feel myself naked in the pool, that spring water will be a blessing to my body and health. Where Dumpling went off too, she just disappeared. I guess Dumpling is keeping a distance😀. Denmark 🇩🇰 don’t have those kinds of nature, tropical 🐠 🌴 epic beauty vibes.
