Achtung sehr gebirgug, 3 Km p0 Minuten und die sind anstrengend. Das Baden im ca 40c Schwefelwasser [nur leicht) ein Genuss. Viele Menschen aber das verläuft sich. Wir hatten sonniges Wetter 15c. Unbeschreiblich.

Nice river with very hot temps. It is quite a long hike to get up to, so be prepared for that.
