Paranoa Lake in Brasilia
Paranoá Lake and Dam Built in order to increase the humidity of the region where the Federal Capital is located, Paranoá Lake also offers leisure options for residents and tourists. For example, nautical sports such as water ski, wakeboard, sailing and rowing. Diving can also be practiced and one of the main attractions is Vila Amaury, an old village that is submerged in the lake. This is where the first construction workers of Brasília used to live. Only 10 meters below the line of water it is possible to find the first traces of the story of the city: walls, pots, floors of the houses and personal objects. On the shore of the lake there are restaurants, bars and companies that offer boat tours through the region. Location: access through Avenida das Nações and the blocks on Lago Sul (South lake) and Lago Norte (North Lake) http://www.brasil.gov.br/brasilia-english/tourist-guide/ecotourism/paranoa-lake-and-dam
