Nature Walks, Fresh Air And Peace 🏕

The mountain connects us with our essence.🏕
Freedom begins when we don't need to pay attention to time or think about work, just walk towards a goal but at the same time without any, because time.
We sell time of life for money, because in a country of capitalism we are taught to do so, however whenever we have time we just want to be away from everything and live life in the simplest way it can give us, at least my thoughts because I'm from generation X

Mountain walks, who doesn’t like that, right? !
It's as if nature took us back to our origins.
Obviously we grew up in a time of everything, ease and comfort.
It's not easy being indigenous, obviously some complacency is ingrained in us.
4 km of trail near a small village, and a large lake, what more could you ask for, right?

Sometimes we can think that tourism in the Azores is exaggerated according to some images we see of places, however it is so great that people spread out across the island.
Waking up early can make you a true hiker in the middle of nowhere but close to the village.

That's how I did it, from the top we can see the lake, in the past it was a broken volcano that is estimated to be around 36 thousand years old and right next to it we have the village of the 7 cities, rare and simple houses

green vegetation that conveys purity to the place, with particularly white houses, which makes the place a very harmonious environment.

The fog that appears makes everything mysterious, it almost feels like we are in a Harry Potter movie
This caricatured house built just a few meters from the lake with windows overlooking the lake makes us imagine what it would be like to wake up with a magnificent view of the mountains, the green countryside and the lake, that alone is worth the trip

Many pastures on the banks waiting for travelers to give them bread and so they continue going there.
Despite being wild or brave.

Because it is a very humid place, the mosses climb at the feet of the trees, forming a kind of hair between them, which is beautiful to see.

Nature is so brutal that trees, when they fall on their own, end up staying in place, as we can see behind these types of ferns.
Which with humidity and growth makes the land more fertile for denser vegetation throughout the island

flowers of different species, both with mosses, dense vegetation, as incredible as it may seem in the Azores there are no snakes or other types of sticky animals, so it is super safe to investigate or even walk over the grass with the feeling that something is on your feet ready to grab us. chop. thus making walking through the mountain much more appealing
Its species poverty on Earth ends up being compensated by the enormous number of marine animals that surround us, including whales.

Well that's all for today, I hope to see you in the next post.
Thank you very much for reading.
