Lagoa Santa Goiás website gets a new version
September 23, 2026
The Lagoa Santa Goiás website, online since 2009, goes live in a completely rebuilt version. The site was redone from scratch, with faster pages, comfortable reading on mobile phones and new, shorter addresses for each topic: thermal springs, lodging, getting there, festivals, the Aporé River and neighboring towns. The old addresses redirect to the new ones.
The new features include the town's business directory, with the phone and WhatsApp numbers of local businesses, dedicated pages for each event on the calendar and a space for ads from local businesses, at affordable prices for guesthouses, restaurants and service providers. The website remains independent, with no ties to the city hall, and is supported by advertising.
