One of the most unexpected yet enjoyable activities we tried was a mud bath.
Covered from head to toe in thick, mineral-rich mud, we couldn’t stop laughing at how ridiculous we looked! My daughter had an absolute blast smearing mud all over herself (and me!), making silly faces and enjoying the pure, messy fun.
Once we were fully coated, we relaxed under the warm sun, letting the mud dry and work its magic. It felt strange at first, but soon, the warmth and weight of the mud became surprisingly soothing. As we waited, we watched other visitors embracing the experience, some turning it into a full-on spa ritual while others, like us, just reveled in the lighthearted fun.
After a while, it was time to rinse off in the natural thermal waters. The moment the mud washed away, our skin felt incredibly soft and rejuvenated. Locals believe these mud baths have healing and anti-aging properties, and whether or not that’s true, we definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed.
It was an experience unlike any other—equal parts hilarious and therapeutic. Not only did we get a unique skincare treatment, but we also walked away with wonderful memories of an afternoon filled with laughter, relaxation, and a little bit of self-care in the most unexpected setting.
