Barragem Atibainha, Water management dam in Nazaré Paulista, Brazil

The Atibainha Dam rises 38 meters high and maintains a water reservoir capacity of 290.78 million cubic meters in São Paulo state.

Built in 1975, the Atibainha Dam became an essential component of the Cantareira System, supplying water to the São Paulo metropolitan region.

The dam created new opportunities for local communities to develop fishing practices and outdoor activities along its extensive shoreline.

Visitors can access the dam area during daylight hours, with multiple viewing points offering perspectives of the water management infrastructure.

The structure connects to the Cachoeira Reservoir through Tunnel 6 and transfers water to the Juqueri River through Tunnel 5.
