Visit a natural hot springs

“First, I had to figure out how to get in. You walk through the dirt, basically, to the edge of the hole. That’s literally what it is, a hole in the ground. The water from under the crust seeps up, which is why it’s warm. I would say it was a warm spring, not hot. The best way I can describe it would be like a warm bath if the bathtub was made of mud. The mud walls and mud floor are soft and warm, and a little gushy. It is slippery.”

“But experiencing my first hot spring was also like immersing myself into nature. Literally. The sun setting into the mountains. The light reflecting off the pool. The sound of the wind blowing across the open plains, blowing through my hair. The contrast of the strong breeze getting colder as the sun set and the warm water. Freedom mixed with adventure.”

“The water in this hot spring is very hot to me. You can see the water bubbling from the bottom of the pool! [...] I slowly adjusted and worked myself into the hot water. The depth of the pool is pretty shallow that the water only went up to my waist when sitting. That was good enough for me as I had to cool down pretty often. The hot spring was turning my skin red! You can definitely smell the sulfur in the water, too.”
