Like other lagoons in the area, this one originated when magma came into contact with groundwater. The violent explosion generated a crater 500 meters in diameter and a maximum depth of 100 meters.

The lagoon water also attracts birds such as black and white storks, imperial eagles, short-toed eagles, golden eagles and black vultures.
