The lagoon
And its plants.
Parque Ecológico Baguaçu, known as PEBA, is an ecological reserve open to the public inside the urban area of Araçatuba, São Paulo state. It is crossed by the Baguaçu stream, which supplies about seventy per cent of the city's water. The park has a lagoon with an estimated depth of three and a half to five metres, parts of its surface covered in floating water plants, and capybaras, the world's largest rodents, live nearby and are often seen on the banks. A paved path around the lagoon is popular with locals for walking and running, part of the Baguaçu ecological corridor, which runs for nearly eight kilometres. The park suits a morning or evening stroll away from the midday heat, and for watching birds and capybaras in a calm setting in the middle of the city.
