Dam Between Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde

Highlight • Bridge

At this point, the lake Lagoa Azul is largely separated from the neighboring lake Lagoa Verde by the road embankment except for a narrow channel under the road. The two lakes are different in that the Lagoa Azul appears blue as usual due to the reflection of the sky, while the Lagoa Verde appears green from above due to the vegetation in it.
