Poço Feio
Poço Feio
Poço Feio is a natural swimming spot on the Rio Macaé near the village of Lumiar, in the Nova Friburgo region of Rio de Janeiro state — roughly a 2. 5-hour drive from Rio de Janeiro city.
Despite its name ("ugly pool"), the site features crystal-clear waters set against a sandy bank, giving it an almost beach-like feel. It sits along the RJ 142 highway and is well-signposted, making access straightforward for most vehicles.
The spot is privately managed and draws families looking to cool off, particularly in summer. Shallow water near the sandy shore makes it suitable for children. Rotative parking is available on site.
