For a landlocked city, you might be surprised to learn that Capitólio, Brazil, is known as the “beach city” of Minas. While it doesn’t have a natural beach, it does have Lago de Furnas, or Furnas Lake, one of the world’s largest manmade lakes. It has clear blue waters and tall rocky cliffs on its sides, forming what’s called Furnas Canyon. There are also many waterfalls and cascades surrounding the lake, which range from trickles to gushes of water. You can explore the area with boat tours that are as short as two hours or as long as a full day, or by renting out a boat yourself.
