A tour leads past six "Corners (Rincón)". These are very different. 1) Laguna Fumarólica: A lagoon with hot water - 2) Pailas de agua: Stones covered with sulphur - 3) Pailas de barro: Mud that bubbles - 4) Volcancito: Smoke rising steadily from a hole in the ground - 5) Fumarolas: Boiling hot water, which therefore bubbles permanently - 6) Catarata estacional: A waterfall that looks much more impressive in the rainy season.
