Alolo Bad Hot Spring lies in Ethiopia's Afar Region, a volcanic stretch of the Rift Valley dotted with hot springs. The iron-rich water, pH 6.3, forms an open-air pool suited to wild bathing.
Insider tip — Alolo Bad Hot Spring is an iron-rich thermal spring in the Afar Depression (Ethiopia), one of the most geologically active regions in the world — the meeting point of three tectonic plates (Africa, Somalia, Arabia). The Afar Depression contains the lowest point in Africa and the Erta Ale caldera (with its permanent molten lava lake).
