Videos of Lagoa Santa (Goiás)
Reports and travel vlogs showing the thermal lagoon, the morning mist, the fish and the town.
Photos help, but it is on video that the thermal lagoon of Lagoa Santa really makes sense: the transparent water with fish swimming by, the mist rising at dawn, the wooden boardwalks in the woods and the Aporé River running between rocks. We have gathered five videos published on YouTube by broadcasters and independent travelers. None was produced by this website; credit goes to the channels shown.

Old report about Lagoa Santa
Channel: TV broadcaster · Year: not stated (old footage)
A television record from years ago, when the town had fewer facilities. It serves as a historical document: you can compare the lagoon, the woods and the buildings of that time with what you see today. To understand how things have changed, also read History of Lagoa Santa.
How to get the most out of the videos
Pay attention to three things photos do not show: the depth of the lagoon, which varies between shallow edges and pools with rocks on the bottom; the movement of the fish, which come closer to bathers instead of fleeing; and the mist, which only appears on cold mornings from June to August and clears in less than an hour. Also notice how crowded each recording is: the weekend and holiday videos show the lagoon busier than it usually is on a weekday.
