Lagoa do Congro

Reviewed By GoSetReady

It is really worth it to go all the way down and see this peaceful and beautiful lagoon. If you have a car, it makes matters easier. From where you park the car, it is a ten-minute walk down the trail - for those like me who walk slowly. It is not very advertised (and I do regret writing about it as of now), but beauty should be shared. Dear fellow humans, go, enjoy this beautiful scenario, and leave it as was.
