Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasemi - The Three Colored Lakes, officially named Kelimutu Lakes, is one of the most popular and interesting volcanic tourist attractions in the world.
The three volcanic lakes "Kilimoto" are the essence of tourism on the island of Flores, which is also considered one of the most beautiful islands and the best travel destinations in Indonesia .
Flores Island is located within the Lesser Sunda Islands, to the east of its two famous neighbors, Bali and Lombok, and its largest city is Maumer, while it is bordered to the east by Komodo Island, known for its huge dragon as well.
The color of the three lakes differs due to the chemical or biological composition of the drilling water, and the interesting thing is that the colors have been constantly changing since the eruption of Mount Indy in 1969 AD.
The locals believe that the lakes are a resting place for their ancestors, and according to their traditions and beliefs, the color of the water matches the moods of the spirits.
