The Igapó lake system was originally created in the 1950s as a solution to prevent erosion and assist with urban drainage in Londrina.
The series of lakes is divided into distinct zones, with Igapó 2 being particularly favored for its expansive views and dedicated fitness infrastructure.
The water levels in the Igapó system are strictly managed to maintain urban aesthetic standards and prevent flooding in surrounding lower-lying districts.
