The 7 Gerês lagoons are a small natural wonder and the path that leads to them is beautiful. On the way it is possible to visit a Fojo do Lobo (an old structure used for wolf hunting) and hike along an old levada. The 7 natural pools that make up Sete Lagoas were naturally carved into the rock by erosion. They lie below a dam that supplies the surrounding villages with electricity.
