The original name of the lake is Araraquara, but reports suggest it began to be called Coca Cola lake due to its unique water.

The scientific reason behind the dark-coloured water is the chemical composition of the ground, which is said to be rich in iron oxide and iodine. The water is also surrounded by white sand dunes all around. According to Brazil’s tourism websites, the water is not filthy and is completely clean to bathe or swim in. In fact, some of the locals even believe that the Coca Cola lake has healing powers in it.
