LAGOONS

 

 

There are four lagoons near of Lima Escape Camping & Glamping. The closest one, designated as L1, is located only 800 meters from the Lima Escape. It’s an easily accessible quiet place and has an area suitable for children and even babies. A true paradise. The second nearest lagoon is located about 2 kilometres from the Lima Escape and it´s a bit bigger. The third nearest lagoon is located about 6,5 kilometres from Lima Escape. The lagoon is perfectly round and offers you a possibility to stay in dropping water of beautiful waterfall. Finally, the fourth closest lagoon is located about 7 kilometres from the Lima Escape and it´s a kind of natural pool fed by a 10-meter waterfall. Amazing!
