It is one of the first lagoons you see when traveling through the park by road, very close to the town of Ruidera. It stands out for the turquoise color of its waters, which in some places are reminiscent of the Caribbean. It is photogenic and easily accessible, ideal for those looking for a place to relax or take a swim. The bottom is clearly visible thanks to the water's transparency.
