    Sulphur Springs allows the chance to take a natural hot spring bath in a black-water pool or experience natural mud baths at a dormant drive-in volcano. This attraction allows you to see what a volcano looks like up close and personal, but be aware that the sulphur smell of rotten eggs will hit you as soon as you arrive. The mud baths and hot springs are rich in minerals that are thought to be therapeutic, and if nothing else are very relaxing.

    The last time this volcano erupted was over 200 years ago, but it still has vents of steam, bubbling mud, and hot springs to mark its once-roiling activity. It's a fascinating experience for adults and kids.
