What to expect
You'll spend 3–4 hours jolting across rough volcanic terrain in an open-sided jeep with a local driver and guide. The landscape is stark: charred lava stretches in all directions, punctuated by thermal features and the occasional hot spring pool. Your guide will narrate the area's volcanic past, pointing out evidence of lava flows and explaining why geothermal activity persists here. The ride is bumpy and unshaded in places; bring sunscreen and water. Bring extra cash for lunch and entrance fees, which aren't covered.
