Morro dos Seis Lagos Biological Reserve, Biological reserve in São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Brazil
The reserve spans 36,900 hectares of Amazon rainforest, featuring six lakes with different mineral compositions that create varied water colors.
The Brazilian government established this protected area in March 1990 to prevent mining activities and preserve the natural environment.
Indigenous communities maintain strong connections to this territory, which contains substantial deposits of niobium, iron, and manganese beneath its surface.
Visitors require special permits for entry, and access is possible through Highway BR-307 or by boat via the Igarapé-Mirim river system.
The reserve contains a thermal spring on the hillside that maintains a constant temperature of 41 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
