During my teenage years, I resided in Belem with my father who frequently traveled for work in the oil industry. One weekend, we decided to venture off to Mosqueiro, which we later renamed "Mosquito." Although I cannot recall the name of the beach we visited that was further from Belem, it was adorned with stunning beaches and sand dunes. Beyond the sand dunes, we discovered dark colored freshwater lakes that my friends affectionately referred to as "Coca Cola Lakes" due to their unique water color. If I ever come across this beach again, I would love to retire there, as it felt like a true paradise to me. As luck would have it, I eventually found the beach, and it was none other than Salinas.
