Imagine a real volcano in miniature; the imposing bulk of Vesuvius humiliated to the pygmy size of a pile of moles; reduce the crater to the capacity of a very mediocre funnel; the lakes of boiling lava, from which the volcanoes of Java are famous, are not a few tablespoons of salty mud, and the formidable eruptions become the release at intervals of some gallops of carburized hydrogen gas that throw some mud pills into the air: and here is represented live a sauce, or rather one of the eruptive cones that group together with a sauce.

To reach this volcano from the first place slightly higher there is a path that then joins with a walkway which will then take you back to the road.

from here you can admire a geological process that began a few millennia ago. This process consists of the ascent from the subsoil of cold clay mud mixed with hydrocarbons, which, by drying up, builds volcanic-looking cones up to a few meters high.

A pleasant resting place, overlooking the Nirano mud volcanoes.
