According to Conde Nast, a global media parent company with one of the best-known travel information companies in the world, the top ten lakes and the most beautiful lakes in the world are all over the globe. Amazing lakes with hypnotizing features and wide spectrums of colors attract visitors in droves. We choose to highlight the following 7 lakes.
Laguna Colorada, Bolivia
Laguna Colorada sits high in the Andes Mountains. Its crimson colored water gets its hue from red algae, but local folklore attributes its water’s color from the blood of the gods. Laguna Colorada is beautiful and shallow. Between December and April, it is full of pink flamingos.
Laguna Colorada is located in southwestern Bolivia about ten miles from the Peruvian border between the dusty tracks of the Siloli Desert and the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve. It lies in a large high-altitude desert plain of smoking volcanoes, and rock formations reminiscent of Salvador Dali’s paintings.
Lake Baikal, Russia
Lake Baikal, spelled Ozero Baykal in Russian, is said to be the world’s deepest lake and the world’s oldest freshwater lake. It is 20 to 25 million years old. Lake Baikal is located in the southern part of eastern Siberia, within the republic of Buryatia and the Irkutsk Oblast Province of Russia.
Lake Baikal is a mile deep in some parts. Mountains that rise over 6,600 feet surround it. Breaks in earth’s crust produce hot mineral springs in the area and occasional earthquakes. It is 395 miles long, its shoreline runs 1,300 miles, and it contains over 45 islands. Over 330 rivers and streams flow into it, but its only outlet is the Angara River.
Lake Bled, Slovenia
Lake Bled, one of Slovenia’s most popular destinations, has vistas of the Julian Alps surrounding it, emerald-colored waters, the most popular island in Slovenia, and thousands of daily visitors. Folklore attributes its origin to fairies because the sheep were eating the soft grass, fairy dance floor. The shepherds refused to protect their dance floor, so the fairies created Lake Bled.
Blejski Otok, the island, is less than one acre in size with two chapels and a church, and a few buildings. The Pletna Boat takes visitors to the island, and it looks like a gondola. The Assumption of Mary Church has a wishing bell that grants a wish to anyone who rings it, but visitors have to climb 99 steps to reach the church and bell.
The Dead Sea, Israel and Jordan
The Dead Sea, on the borders of Israel and Jordan, is a saline lake. Mountains lined with palm trees surround it, and rippled salt deposit strips run along its shores. The Dead Sea is known as an intriguing phenomenon. The only living things in the Dead Sea are microorganisms and algae.
Turquoise water colors the Dead Sea. It has almost ten times the salt as seawater. Its salty water contains healing properties. It is a popular destination for treating skin conditions, like acne, psoriasis, cellulite, muscle aches, and arthritis. The Dead Sea lies in a vast desert, and the searing hot climate evaporates huge quantities of water. It is the biggest free spa in the world
