The Sete Cidades Lakes are a group of volcanic lakes located in the Sete Cidades crater on the island of São Miguel, part of the Azores archipelago in Portugal. This natural wonder consists of two main lakes, Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul, which are known for their striking green and blue colors, respectively. The lakes are surrounded by lush vegetation and steep cliffs, making the area a popular destination for hiking and photography. The Sete Cidades region is rich in biodiversity and offers various outdoor activities, including kayaking and birdwatching. The lakes are also significant for their geological history, formed by volcanic activity thousands of years ago. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from several viewpoints, such as Vista do Rei, which provide stunning vistas of the lakes and the surrounding landscape.
