Naturaleza irreal
Increíble. Las terrazas y los colores parecen pintados. Mucha actividad geotérmica que a veces te hace sentir miedo. Merece muchísimo la pena

Amazing experience
This is a must do. The views are spectacular and after a short boat trip across the gorgeous lake, the walk is amazing through changing scenery. Well worth it. Loved the experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing
Seeing the bubbling water in the pools throughout the walk was amazing. Pathways were easy to navigate with wooden walkways.

Amazing adventure
We loved being able to wander around the tracks at our own pace and have plenty of time to watch the changing landscape. The paths and signs are very well maintained and the short boat trip was a good way to arrive. We had some fog on the day we visited - added to the magical experience. Staff were very helpful and welcoming.
