In the Mata da Estrela nature reserve in Brazil lies a lake with a deep brown color, similar to that of a famous sparkling water, attracting tourists.
"Coca-Cola Lake" is actually Lagoa da Araraquara, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in northeastern Brazil. It's called Coca-Cola because the lake has a dark brown color, similar to the color of the world- famous carbonated beverage.

The lake's unusual color is due to the high concentration of iodine and iron in its water, along with the pigments from the reeds near the shore. This striking color makes Lagoa da Araraquara a popular tourist destination in Brazil.
From Natal, the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, it's about a 100 km drive to the lake. On popular travel websites like Tripadvisor, visitors who have been to this location all agree that the lake is safe for swimming and water sports.
The best time to visit Coca-Cola Lake is from December to March. During this period, the weather is dry, the lake water is warm, and many tourists choose to come here for outdoor activities such as swimming, bathing, riding wild boars, and other activities to immerse themselves in nature. Surrounding the lake are white sand dunes and the green expanse of the Mata da Estrela nature reserve.

Because it's located within a nature reserve, there are no accommodations or public restrooms around this lake. Travel guides recommend spending half a day to a full day here. If camping overnight, visitors should prepare personal items and food supplies. Trekking enthusiasts can hike through the forest trails within the reserve to reach the lake.
The Coca-Cola Lake is not just a tourist attraction; many believe that soaking in this mineral-rich lake is good for your health.
