Course

The D'Una rises in the 84,130 hectares (207,900 acres) Serra do Tabuleiro State Park. The lush forests of the park protect the sources of the Vargem do Braço, Cubatão and D'Una rivers, which supply most of the drinking water for greater Florianópolis and the south coast region. [1] The river runs south into the Lagoa do Imaruí, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean beside Laguna, Santa Catarina.
