Get to know Lagoa Verde in Ilha Grande.

Today I will tell you about Lagoa Verde in Ilha Grande.

The Laguna Verde is not as well known as the Laguna Azul, but for those who know, it is always a dispute over which is the most beautiful lagoon on the island. It is next to Praia Grande de Araçatiba. The waters are really green and very calm. To better see the bottom and have a more interesting experience, it is recommended to go on days when the tide is a little lower, to see the rocks and the transparency of the water.

Many like Lagoa Verde more than Lagoa Azul because it has shallower areas, where it is possible, especially for those who cannot swim, feel in paradise and are also safer.

A curiosity is that both the Laguna Verde and the Laguna Azul are not really lagoons, but protected regions of the island, where the water is quieter, forming a natural pool. They are also points where water transparency is very evident due to the shape and depth of the bottom.

The Green Lagoon is a true outdoor natural aquarium. There you can find various species of mollusks, fish, corals and other animals such as the sea turtle. Of course, to find turtles you will have to be a bit lucky, but far from being weird.

The shape of Lagoa Verde is a kind of U, formed by the proximity of the long island to Ilha Grande. The good thing about Lagoa Verde is that the colors are very similar to the colors of the forest, which is very green.
