What To Expect
We walk through exuberant tropical vegetation: tree fern, huge trees… with the mountain whistling as a musical background. The view clears and the vegetation changes as you arrive above the valley of desolation. No doubt, something is happening here ... So we go down: the earth seems to be alive, the water is boiling and it smokes everywhere, the colors are surprising. A bath in natural saunas is offered to us, before discovering the largest bubbling lake in the world where the water temperature is around 80 ° C. Then we descend from the valley of desolation to reach the parking lot.

4.00Hiking to the boiling lake is just magical! Accompanied by our guide Nathy, we passed in the middle of the rainforest, then on the mountain ridges before reaching the valley of desolation with the fumaroles of sulphur and the boiling lake which is very impressive! The landscapes are sublime and our guide took us swimming in the hot baths of the various waterfalls.. unforgettable experience for those who love to observe nature 😇
A difficult but professional and safe hike

5.00It takes a good physical condition to approach this hike of nearly 8 hours that puts the legs to the test. It goes up and down steeply most of the way. Nath is a knowledge well and safety is her priority. The place is breathtaking and we do not regret the efforts. Easily take 2 litres per person and a sports snack to face the day serenely and avoid cramps.
Nice!

4.00I went alone with Nathalie to discover Boiling Lake. The road is an opportunity to discover the rainforest, offering very beautiful views of the island and its peaks, the ocean and see maybe even the surrounding islands for the lucky ones?. It is a physical hike, alternating several ascents and descents that we did in a little more than 7 hours, with a break to eat and swim in the hot baths of the Valley of Desolation. Nathalie was very accommodating from start to finish, to give me information about the island and possible activities, to convey me to the beginning of the hike, to share her passion... A treat! I highly recommend:)
