The city
Lagoa Santa is the city in the Belo Horizonte metro area where the naturalist Peter Lund lived from 1835 to 1880 and where the Gruta da Lapinha is located, in the Parque Estadual do Sumidouro. The town grew around the lagoon that gives it its name, with a lakeside promenade for walking, and is a few kilometers from Confins Airport. It is the starting point of the Rota das Grutas.
