Lake Kelimutu

Lake Kelimutu, located on Mount Kelimutu in Flores, Indonesia, is a breathtaking natural wonder famous for its three crater lakes that change colors due to mineral reactions. Each lake—Tiwu Ata Bupu (Lake of Old People), Tiwu Ko’o Fai Nuwa Muri (Lake of Young Men and Maidens), and Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched Lake)—can shift between shades of blue, green, red, and even black, creating a surreal and mystical landscape. This phenomenon, combined with the stunning sunrise views from the mountain’s summit, makes Kelimutu a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photographers. Local legends say the lakes hold the spirits of the dead, adding a cultural and spiritual significance to this enchanting site.
