Jaguari, Hydroelectric dam in Vargem region, Brazil
Jaguari is a hydroelectric dam standing 62 meters high in the Vargem region. The structure holds water across multiple municipalities and plays a key role in supplying electricity to the area.
Jaguari Dam was built as part of Brazil's expansion of hydroelectric power in the region. The facility has supplied electricity to the area since its completion.
The municipalities of Vargem, Joanópolis, Bragança Paulista, and Piracaia share management responsibilities for the dam's operations and surrounding recreational areas.
The dam can be viewed from designated observation areas, though access is restricted due to safety regulations. Bring binoculars to appreciate the scale of the structure from a safe distance.
The water reservoir spans across four different municipalities, creating a shared water management system across administrative boundaries. This unusual arrangement requires coordination between multiple local authorities to maintain operations.
