Lagoa das Araras, Natural lake reserve in Nobres, Brazil.
The lake spans across a transitional area between the Cerrado savanna and Amazon rainforest, surrounded by native Buriti palm trees and wetlands.
The lake formed naturally within the Mato Grosso region, creating an ecosystem that supports numerous macaw species through the hollow trunks of fallen palm trees.
Local communities maintain the preservation of this natural sanctuary, where various macaw species find refuge and establish their nesting grounds.
Visitors can access the lake through a 200-meter trail from Vila Bom Jardim, with observation decks available for bird watching from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Every evening at 5:00 PM, numerous macaws return to their nesting sites in the dead palm trees, creating a natural spectacle against the setting sun.
