Caldeira das Sete Cidades

The world's fairyland, I don't want to go back, I don't want to think about it. The quiet lake makes you fall into reverie and the soul is purified. Indifferent tranquility is the true portrayal of the Seven City Lake. I think I will frequent it.

This place is stunning and well worth the trip out here. The two lakes differ slightly in shades and legend has it that the two lakes are the pools of years of a blue eyed shepherd and a green eyed princess that were unable to be together.

The Sete Cidades Caldera is technically one large crater lake, even though most refer to it as two separate bodies: Lagoa Verde (Green Lake) and Lagoa Azul (Blue Lake). We stopped at the bridge that separated the green lake and blue lake and marvelled at the wonders of nature.
