Lakes, Dams, and Waterfalls

Ceará’s semi-arid landscape is punctuated by massive engineering works and natural wonders. This list features the Castanhão Dam, Brazil's largest multi-use reservoir, alongside the Orós and Banabuiú dams, which form the state's strategic water reserve. Natural highlights include the 130-meter Bica do Ipu waterfall in the Ibiapaba Mountains and the coastal Lagamar do Cauípe, a hub for kitesurfing. These sites range from essential irrigation sources to high-altitude waterfalls in the Baturité Massif and Ibiapaba regions.
