 Ruins of a hot springs bath are on the far side of the volcano. Local residents use a bath close by. |
 Just before you get to the entrance of the volcano, you will see this sign. |
 Follow the path to the left, and you will find natural hot springs pools. You can enjoy a natural shower under the small waterfall. The water is high in iron oxide and is said to be good for exema, rheumatism, arthritis, gout and sunburn. Reach to the bottom, scoop up the mud and give yourself a therapeutic mud bath. The mud is rich in zinc, iron and sulphur. |
 Upstream you will find a more modern hot springs bath. The water is hotter here than the natural hot springs downstream. Wear something that you don't care too much about. The water is almost black and may stain material. |
| Sulphur Springs near Soufriere (French for Sulphur). The sulphur springs from which the town of Soufriere got its name, are a weak spot in the crust of an enormous collapsed crater, the result of volcanic upheaval 410,000 years ago. |
