It's a lagoon approximately 2,000 meters long by 1,600 meters wide, located in a crater formed by a meteorite impact. 

The crystal clear blue-green waters reach a depth of 60 meters and are surrounded by beautiful hills covered in lush vegetation. 

There are beaches about five to six meters wide. Most of the water is fresh and is attributed with medicinal qualities due to the mineral elements it contains. Also, because of the high mineral content, the color of the water constantly changes from deep blue to bright green.

In the surrounding landscapes, you can engage in various activities, and the lagoon is ideal for water sports. When it comes to fishing, you can find species such as tilapia, mojarra, and bass.
