Lakes that change colors!

The Kelimutu Lakes in Flores island, are absolutely stunning. The three volcanic lakes change color, shifting from blue to green to red and even to black depending on the minerals and weather. You can easily get there by scooter, which makes the trip pretty convenient. The locals believe the lakes are where the souls of the dead go—each one represents a different stage of life. So it is a sacred place and please be respectful. The best time to visit is usually at sunrise, but be prepared that it may be very cold early in the morning. It’s a surreal and peaceful place, definitely worth the visit. #goingplaces #100waysoftravel #indonesia
