REPRESA JAGUARI-JACAREÍ (VARGEM)

The Jaguari-Jacareí Dam was inaugurated in 1981 as an essential component of the Cantareira System, being the largest dam in the system with an area of 50 km². The project represents a milestone in Brazilian water engineering focused on supplying the São Paulo Metropolitan Region.

The dam is an important asset to the cultural identity of Vargem and the region, representing a symbol of water-based development. The site attracts visitors interested in nautical tourism and enjoying the scenery, boosting the local economy with marinas and guesthouses.

With a total area of 50 km², the reservoir forms a vast body of water fed by the Jaguari River, surrounded by the mountainous landscape typical of the Serra da Mantiqueira. Multiple viewpoints offer privileged views of the reservoir, with its diverse aquatic fauna.
