Ricon de la Vieja Mud Bath
Relax with a volcanic clay mud bath from the Ricon de la Vieja Volcano’s mud pools (or mudpots). It’s the perfect way to rejuvenate your body after a day full of adventure. After the clay dries, you will be left feeling completely new after cleaning up with a cool river water shower.
