In the Mata da Estrela nature reserve, Brazil, there is a lake with a dark brown color similar to the color of the famous carbonated water, attracting tourists.
The "Coca Cola Lake" is actually Lagoa da Araraquara, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. The lake is called Coca Cola because of its dark brown color, similar to the color of the world-famous carbonated drink.

The lake's strange color is due to the high concentration of iodine and iron in the water, combined with the pigments of the reeds near the shore. The strange color makes Lagoa da Araraquara a popular tourist destination in Brazil.
From the city of Natal, the capital of Rio Grande do Norte state, visitors travel about 100 km to reach the lake. On world-famous travel advisory sites such as Tripadvisor, visitors who have visited this place all say that this lake is safe for swimming and participating in water games.
The best time to visit Lake Coca Cola is from December to March. At this time, the weather is dry, the lake water is warm, many tourists choose to come here to organize outdoor activities such as swimming, bathing, playing wild boar riding and activities to immerse themselves in nature. Surrounding the lake are white sand dunes and green areas of Mata da Estrela reserve.

Because it is located in a protected area, there are no accommodations or public toilets around the lake. Travel advice sites recommend spending half a day to a day here. If camping overnight, visitors must prepare personal belongings and food reserves. Visitors who love trekking can walk through the forest trails in the protected area to reach the lake.
Coca Cola Lake is not just a tourist attraction, many people believe that soaking in this mineral-filled lake is good for your health.
