Engaging, informative and entertaining tour in a location where culture and geology is intertwined 😊
The walk around the entire Geothermal plain was fascinating. Though the smell of the sulphur is alittle overwhelming, but still bearable. Be prepared to take alot of photos of the what nature has to offer.
