Joaninha has already been to S. Miguel more than once and she says this is one of her favorite places in the world. The Sete Cidades Lake is one of the most famous places in the Azores Archipelago, and once one there you’ll know why.
This is the biggest fresh-water lake in the Azores, situated in the volcanic craters that form the Island, constituted by two lagoons (the Green Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon) that form a wonderful scenery of great natural beauty, one of the symbolic images of the Archipelago, classified as Protected Landscape. - in: http://www.getportugal.com/en/poi-lagoa-das-sete-cidades-18513
