Lagoa das Sete Cidades, located on the island of São Miguel, is one of the most famous sites in the Azores Archipelago.
It is the largest freshwater lake in the Azores, located in the volcanic craters that form the island, consisting of two lagoons (Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul) whose contrast creates a scenario of great beauty.
With a maximum depth of 33 meters, and a length of 4.2 kilometers, it is surrounded by green fields and framed by beautiful steep slopes that give it a bucolic and idyllic environment.
Grota de Inferno is one of classic viewpoints on the island of São MIguel in the Azores. It offers sweeping views over the lakes located in the volcanic crater called Sete Cidades,
Pasear por el borde de un antiguo cráter volcánico en una fresca mañana primaveral es uno de los mejores recuerdos que guardo del viaje a Sao Miguel.
Sin duda, esta isla es uno de esos lugares a los que me gustaría retornar alguna vez; un auténtico paraíso, un sitio magnífico donde perderse, pensar y reflexionar sobre la vida, sobre tu vida y todo lo demás.
Portugal’s Sete Cidades consists of two lakes (volcanic craters) side by side - one green and one blue. In the right light, the green side is almost shockingly green.
Both volcanic lakes on the Azores can be seen from the Vista do Rei (King's View) at a height of 565 m above the lakes. A magnificent view over the Caldeira de Setes Cidades is guaranteed..
Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde, São Miguel, Azores
Probably the most photographed spot on Sao Miguel: View from the Mirador Vista do Rei to the two lakes Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul. They are connected by a narrow passage. Lagoa Verde owes its name to a phenomenon that occurs when sunlight enters the caldera. Standing on the rim of the crater, the water of Lagoa Verde appears greenish due to light reflections on the surface, emanating from the dense coniferous forest growing on the steeply rising crater wall, while the water in the larger part of the lake has a blue hue, which is expressed by the name Lagoa Azul. After heavy rain, however, both lakes are murky and greenish.
According to an etiological legend, the lakes are composed of the tears of two lovers. A princess was forced to part from her lover, a poor shepherd who had unsuccessfully sought her hand in marriage, in order to marry a man her father had chosen for her. They met and kissed one last time where the two lakes now meet. Their farewell tears created the two lakes: the blue one from the tears of the princess's blue eyes, and the green one from the shepherd's green eyes.
You have to be lucky to see the lakes in the crater in sunshine; it is often shrouded in clouds.
Die wohl am meisten fotografierte Stelle auf Sao Miguel: Blick vom Mirador Vista do Rei auf die beiden Seen Lagoa verde und Lagoa azul. Sie sind durch einen schmalen Durchlass miteinander verbunden. Lagoa Verde verdankt seinen Namen einem Phänomen, das bei Einfall des Sonnenlichts in die Caldera auftritt. Steht man am Rand des Kraters, so wirkt das Wasser des Lagoa Verdes grünlich durch Lichtreflexionen auf der Wasseroberfläche, die von dem dichten Nadelwald ausgehen, der an der steil nach oben ragenden Kraterwand wächst, während das Wasser des größeren Seeteils eine blaue Färbung hat, die durch die Bezeichnung Lagoa Azul ausgedrückt wird. Nach starkem Regen sind jedoch beide Seen trübe und grünlich.
Nach einer ätiologischen Sage bestehen die Seen aus den Tränen zweier Verliebter. Eine Prinzessin musste sich von ihrem Geliebten, einem armen Hirten, der erfolglos um ihre Hand angehalten hatte, trennen, um einen Mann, den ihr Vater für sie ausgewählt hatte, zu ehelichen. Sie trafen und küssten einander ein letztes Mal dort, wo sich heute beide Seen berühren. Aus ihren Abschiedstränen entstanden die beiden Seen: der blaue aus den Tränen der blauen Augen der Prinzessin und der grüne aus den grünen Augen des Hirten. Man muss Glück haben, um die Seen im Krater bei Sonnenschein sehen zu könnten, meistends ist er von Wolken eingehüllt.
I've shown this picture to some people and nobody likes it, but I do... mostly because I was exposed for extreme weather conditions for good couple of hours. Instead of beautiful views over the Caldera de Sete Cidades I've got very strong wind, heavy mist and rain. That was an adventure!!:-)

Abandoned hotel with one of the best views of the blue and green lakes. Sete Cidades.
Sete Cidades is a civil parish in the center of the municipality of Ponta Delgada, that is likewise located in the center of a massive volcanic crater three miles across, also referred to as Sete Cidades
Sao Miguel Azores
is a town located in the centre of a massive volcanic crater five kilometres across. From the high up vantage point on the edge of the crater, the vie as solid cloud, driving down the crater side in our hired car, we ducked under the cloud and saw the sun on the crater.

Impressionants lacs dans un cratère de 5 km de diamètre, avec le village de Sete Cidades (île de Sao Miguel, Archipel des Açores). L'archipel est toujours en activité volcanique avec de nombreux séismes : le seisme de 1980 a détruit la ville de Angra do Heroismo (35000 habitants) sur l’île de Terceira. La dernière éruption date de 1957 (île de Faial). Lac Vert à droite et Lac Bleu au fond.

Maybe the most iconic view of the Azores and you'll understand once you are there ! The light, the landscape, the atmosphere...it just feels right. Stunning ! I really love the Azores...

Sete Cidades, Sao Miguel, Azores, portugal, 2018
Probably the most iconic view on all of the Azorean islands the Sete Cidades (Seven Cities) are one truly amazing piece of earth. When standing on the hilltop you get to understand why this place is so magical and attracting tourists all over the world. But be aware that most of the time year round this view is covered in thick fog or clouds...
