Tourist Guide

To get to this extremely remote low pool called the Ernst Tinaja, you have to drive a high-clearance or 4WD vehicle on Old Ore Road in Big Bend National Park and hike about a mile.

The pool is a scary toxic green, and with its steep sides is a death trap to creatures other than birds or insects.
