Serra de Água - Madeira - Portugal

It's seems Machu Pichu in Peru, without ruins, but this paradise is located on the island of Madeira, Portugal,

where we can see "waterfalls of clouds" allways moving. It is an impressive spectacle offered by mother nature.

FROM HELL TO HEAVEN - DO DESERTO AO PARAÍSO

Alqueva was an old project that took many years to be completed. The word "Alqueva" derives from "fallow" which means "land set-aside" or "desert", which in fact is in accordance with the geological characteristics of the parish, dry and very rough soil due to drought; this problem was one of their greatest obstacles in this development.

Alqueva foi um velho projecto que demorou muitos anos para ser concretizado. A palavra “Alqueva” deriva de “alqueive” que significa “terra de pousio” ou “deserta”, o que de facto está em conformidade com as características geológicas da freguesia, de solo muito seco e áspero, devido à escassez de água, sendo este problema um dos maiores obstáculos ao seu desenvolvimento.
Now, in this previously dry desert area, we have one of the largest lakes in Europe which was not created by God, but by mankind. The success was so great that this area no longer has a dry climate and has become a region of rain. This may be a good example for solving problems of drought in other dry regions.

Numa zona seca e desértica temos agora um dos maiores lagos da Europa que em vez de ter sido criado pelas mãos de Deus foi pelas do Homem! O sucesso foi tão grande que aquela zona deixou de ter um clima seco e passou a ser uma região de chuvas. Um bom exemplo para resolver o problema de regiões pobres e secas.
