Adventure at Miravalles Volcano
At Las Hornillas you will find the following:
Bubbling mud pools
The bubbling mud pools are holes that contain clay mud. These mud pools which also have sulfurated thermal waters all with different temperatures: 80ºC, 100ºC and 200ºC. This mud is odorless and can be found in three different colors, gray, brown and yellow. The coloration indicates how deep the pool is: the brown mud indicates a depth of two meters, the gray mud a depth of one meter and the yellow mud indicates the mud is from the surface and is full of sulfur.
You can select the clay in which you want to bathe and then obtain it from the bubbling mud pool. Whilst waiting 15 or 20 minutes for the clay to cool you can enjoy one of the greatest marvels in the world. After bathing in this volcanic mud your skin will be left feeling fresh and smooth.
