San Alfonso del Mar (Algarrobo, Chile)
A mini ocean in and of itself, the amazing San Alfonso del Mar is a saltwater pool that Guinness World Record considers the largest in the world. Covering approximately 20 acres, the pool is more than 3,340 feet long, which is longer than 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools laid end to end, has a 115 feet deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. This was the idea of Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischemann who desired to build something world had never seen before. This striking pool contains 250,000 cubic meters of water and is ideal for kayaking and scuba diving. It is also navigable in small boats. If you prefer nighttime swimming, there is a temperature-controlled beach inside the pool’s centrally located glass pyramid.
