Mar Grosso

Mar Grosso Beach (Praia do Mar Grosso) is the long, lively shoreline of Laguna on Santa Catarina's southern coast, affectionately called the "apple of the eye" of every lagunense. With roughly three kilometres of pale sand and clear water, it is the place locals and visitors head to for swimming, sunbathing, beach games and a stroll along the promenade. What sets it apart is its setting between two landmarks: to the south the stone breakwater of Molhes da Barra reaches into the sea, and to the north rare pink granite outcrops frame views of neighbouring beaches. Add a broad beach that rarely feels crowded, good infrastructure and a buzzing seafront, and Mar Grosso makes an easy base for a day—or a whole holiday—on the southern Catarinense coast.

River

Rio Coxá

Rio Coxá is a crystal-clear river threading through the northern Minas Gerais municipality of Montalvânia, where it creates a landscape of rapids, waterfalls, and natural swimming spots prized by locals and increasingly attracting adventurous travelers. Its waters are so transparent and its rocky stretches so scenic that the municipal government lists the river as a primary tourism attraction, ideal for adventure sports. At nearly 160 kilometers long, the Coxá drains a basin of over 3,100 square kilometers before joining the Carinhanha River — itself a tributary of the mighty São Francisco. Along its course through the Cerrado biome, the river has carved pools, falls, and banks that serve as the social and recreational heart of the communities it passes through, from Montalvânia to Juvenília.
