Piscina Municipal Las Moyas

You know, once the sun begins to shine in San Agustín, it gets down right hot. The perfect way to cool down after visiting the Parque Arqueológico or doing the El Tablón-to-El Purutal circuit is to swing by the Piscina Municipal Las Moyas. A more-than-Olympic-sized swimming pool full of cool, fresh spring water awaits your laps. There’s even a slide to sweep you off your tired feet. After drying off, shoot a few games of the other pool (that is, billiards) in the ranchito.
