Lagoa

The residential district surrounds the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, connecting neighborhoods of Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana, Gávea, Jardim Botânico, and Humaitá.

The development of Lagoa transformed the area into the third most expensive residential zone in South America, with a population reaching 21,198 inhabitants by 2010.

The district maintains strict urban planning regulations, resulting in a structured residential environment without informal settlements common in other parts of Rio de Janeiro.

Residents and visitors can access a 7.5-kilometer cycleway that encircles the lagoon, connecting multiple parks and recreational spaces throughout the district.

The district stands at coordinates 22°58′13″S and 43°12′38″W, offering direct access to several major neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro's South Zone.
