Immediately adjacent to the east is the smaller lake Lagoa Comprida . The other five lakes are called Lagoa Branca, Lagoa Rasa, Lagoa da Lomba, Lagoa Seca, and another lake called Lagoa Funda .
The 13 hectare Lagoa Funda lies at an altitude of about 560 m and, with its steep edges, is 105 m deep, which makes it the deepest lake in the Azores by a large margin.
