Hamilton Pool

In nature, building a mini paradise can take thousands of years. Near Austin, Texas, there is a natural pool that is seen and enjoyed as an idyllic site. An underground river for thousands of years eroded a cavity that collapsed, leaving little oasis in a sheltered and calm water. The place owns an amazing waterfall and rich vegetation that are seen as rather unusual. The pool is surrounded by huge slabs of limestone and decorated with stalactites, mosses and bushes that grow among the rocks.

This is known as the Hamilton Pool. The Hamilton Pool is a protected area that does not have any alteration, or services, but welcomes thousands of tourists in search of fun for the summer.

Just over a century ago, the owners of the area discovered the collapse of what used to be a cave, giving way to a place of great recreational value. It was soon opened to the public.
