The hardest ever, but really Amazing lake.
Boiling Lake的点评
点评：First of all, Amazing hike. Also, the hardest I have ever tried. I Hope this review to be useful. Let's Paint a picture here: I'm 44, quite fit, I practice Crossfit since 4 years ago, I have done many trekkings, but I'm not an Expert, meaning I don't go with any special Gear or gps, I like it just as a sport. Same my wife who is 2 years younger, also crossfitter. Services at Place: there is toilets, there are women selling snacks, accessories, tasty juices. There Is a restaurant that opens only during cruises periods. The start is the same Place as Titou gorge, another lovely activity although much much shorter. About the hike.... Guide or no guide. Well, the path to the boiling lake is just one, It Is in excellent conditon (meaning you can clearly see it). You see, dozens of people every day go through it so you will just see it for most part. The First half is quite difficult, lots of ups, some down, lots of stairs and some mud. By the way, you'll get muddy as for shoes and lower part of legs. If It rains it's probably worst, I went during a sunny perfect day. Anyway, after reaching the top view point at about half of the Trail there is a terrible descent to reach the Valley of desolation. I mean, sometimes you Need to go also down with arms, jumping down some steep or cliffs. Before getting to the Valley of Desolation, you must follow a path which Is also a River, but don't get comfy, because at some point the right path continues on the right side, leaving the river behind. If you don't see that you'll get lost. About that, the Valley Is very Wide open view. If you get Lost you can easily find the way back. So the descent was a real challenging part, very long and very steep. The First fumaroles appear and you have to stay clear of the Sand near the boiling water, there could be 'bubble spots' where your foot will sink in the boiling mud. No worries, very unlikely even without a guide you are able to see where not to put your feet. Don't be too curious, this things burn. After this part, another very tiring hike Is to get to the lake. The lake itself Is Amazing, It Is an unbelievable place on Earth. The way back Is the same and it's a Little bit easier cause you have a lot of hard climbing (and not descending) and finally the last part back Is all a mild descending to the starting point back. Time: if you're fast and constant, with about 10 stops for pictures and couple of minute breaks, It takes 3 hours. But beware: in this 3 hours you'll hike, climbing rock-stairs of 50/60 cm height and more, you'll cross rivers on few stones, you'll descent through some slippery rocks, mud, 70-80% angle slopes, there Is also couple spots with a helping rope. All in all: It's not a 3h normal hike. IT IS NO PICNIC. The guide are ridicolously overpriced in my opinion. We were in 6 people, 80€/$ EACH! So 480€/$ for a hike. Really too much. But, without it I probably would have given up somewhere near the Desolation Valley. Some point of the path look like impossible or very dangerous. And our guide mr. Green was helpful and very friendly, so yes I would recommend a guide, especially if you start early as First to climb up. But It Is not impossible to go alone, Just be careful and prepare the path in Advance. Also: 2 litres water each, snacks, banana, Energy bars are ideal. Go early, or the sun will scorch you, (although 3/4 of the hike Is in the Shadow of the forest). Total round 6 hours including a stop of 20 minutes to the lake.
And bring swimsuit... At the arrival back you will want a dip in the First access pool of the gorge to wash away mud and relax your poor legs. Enjoy!

翻译：首先，很棒的徒步旅行。也是我尝试过的最艰难的一次。我希望这篇评论对你有用。让我们在这里描绘一下：我今年 44 岁，身体很健康，我从 4 年前开始练习 Crossfit，我做过很多次徒步旅行，但我不是专家，也就是说我没有带任何特殊的装备或 GPS，我只是把它当作一项运动来喜欢。我妻子也一样，她比我小 2 岁，也是 Crossfit 爱好者。场地服务：有厕所，有妇女卖小吃、配饰、美味果汁。有一家餐厅只在游轮期间开放。起点和 Titou 峡谷是同一个地方，另一个很棒的活动，虽然要短得多。关于徒步旅行......有导游或没有导游。好吧，通往沸湖的路只有一条，它状况极佳（这意味着你可以清楚地看到它）。你看，每天都有几十个人经过它，所以你只会看到它的大部分路程。前半段相当艰难，上坡多，下坡多，有很多楼梯，还有些泥泞。顺便说一句，你的鞋子和小腿会沾满泥土。如果下雨的话情况会更糟，我去的时候是阳光明媚的完美一天。无论如何，在到达大约一半路程的顶部观景点后，有一个可怕的下坡才能到达荒凉山谷。我的意思是，有时候你还需要撑着手臂往下走，从陡峭的悬崖上跳下来。在到达荒凉山谷之前，你必须沿着一条路走，那也是一条河，但不要太舒服，因为在某个时候，正确的路会继续在右边，把河流留在身后。如果你没看到它，你会迷路的。关于这一点，山谷的视野非常开阔。如果你迷路了，你可以很容易地找到回去的路。所以下坡是一个真正具有挑战性的部分，非常长而且非常陡峭。当第一道喷气孔出现时，您必须远离沸水附近的沙子，那里可能会有“气泡点”，您的脚会陷入沸腾的泥浆中。不用担心，即使没有导游，您也不太可能知道哪里不能放脚。不要太好奇，这些东西会燃烧。经过这部分后，另一段非常累人的徒步旅行是到达湖边。这个湖本身就很神奇，它是地球上一个令人难以置信的地方。回来的路是一样的，而且会容易一些，因为您需要爬很多路（而不是下降），最后一段回程都是平缓的下降回到起点。时间：如果您速度快且坚持不懈，中途停下来拍照 10 次，休息几分钟，总共需要 3 个小时。但要注意：在这 3 个小时里，您将徒步攀登 50/60 厘米或更高的石阶，您将穿过几块石头上的河流，您将通过一些湿滑的岩石、泥泞、70-80% 的斜坡下降，也有几个地方有辅助绳索。总而言之：这不是一次正常的 3 小时徒步旅行。这绝不是野餐。在我看来，导游的价格高得可笑。我们一共 6 个人，每人 80 欧元/美元！所以徒步旅行要 480 欧元/美元。真的太多了。但是，如果没有它，我可能会在荒凉谷附近的某个地方放弃。路径的某些点看起来不可能或非常危险。我们的导游格林先生很乐于助人，非常友好，所以我是的，我会推荐一位导游，特别是如果您早点开始爬山的话。但独自前往并非不可能，只要小心并提前准备好路径即可。此外：每人 2 升水、零食、香蕉、能量棒是理想的选择。早点出发，不然太阳会灼伤你（尽管 3/4 的徒步路程是在森林的阴影下）。总共 6 小时，包括在湖边停留 20 分钟。
带上泳衣... 回来后，你会想在峡谷的第一个入口水池里泡一泡，洗去泥土，放松你可怜的双腿。尽情享受吧！
