Lagoa da Serra

Verified

A body of water some 300 by 600 meters, of crystal-clear turquoise-blue water over white sand, with the Serra Geral in the background — the postcard of the Serras Gerais and the reason the region is called the 'Caribbean of the Cerrado.' The lagoon is fed by upwelling groundwater, is about 2 m deep on average, and lies within the bounds of the Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins. Good for swimming, stand-up paddle, and watching the sunset.
