Thanks Daniel- we updated the article with the correct name.

The actual name of the natural pool is Los Tres Chorros (not Charros). “Chorros” means streams in Spanish. I haven’t been to that place in years, but I grew up in the area and spent many hours in that pool as a youngster. The name Los Tres Chorros (the three streams) comes from the fact that the river’s current above would split into three streams before falling into the pool. Of course, as the river changes with seasonal floods, so do the streams; so I can’t assure you there are three distinct streams falling into the pool anymore. I hope you find this worth your consideration. I will for sure try to revisit that place on my next trip to Puerto Rico.

Hey great article, i must say that the bathrooms in the recreational areas are suppose to be open if someone reserves the tables or camping and picnic areas (charco azul included, at least that’s what I’ve been told.) I’ve been to Los Tres Chorros and its amazing and also been fishing @ Lago Carite but from the shore, because you have to know someone with a boat or rent one (don’t know if it’s possible), but its also a good place to go (although I wouldn’t take those routes) i would take PR742.
