The Blue Lake is one of remarkable spot that can be enjoyed when travelers exploring the Gede Pangrango National Park, a famous natural tourist destination in West Java, Indonesia.

It has a unique color of the water that can vary dramatically, sometimes can be green, brown, or blue depending on the growth cycle of algae in the water. The typical rainforest trees surround the lake and cool air enrich the charm of this spot. If you are lucky, you can see turtles the habitants of the Lake do sun-bathing in the morning.
Located close to the Blue Lake, some other fascinating spots are Gayonggong Swamp and Cibeureum Triple Waterfalls.

Other sports that should not be missed to be visited is Cibeureum Waterfall along with two other small waterfalls: Cidendeng and Cikundul. The wall of those waterfalls overgrown with red moss (Spagnum gedeanum) that create reddish effect to the water, the reason why Sundanese called it as Cibeureum (red water rivers).
