Screw's Sulphur Springs

Screw's Sulphur Springs in Wotten Waven, Dominica, are ferruginous volcanic springs operated as a community-based hot spring facility in the geothermally active Wotten Waven valley, where iron-rich, sulfurous water emerges at bathing temperatures from the hydrothermal system feeding the island's famous Boiling Lake. The iron-laden water is applied as a skin treatment — the rusty mineral deposits are said to have beneficial effects on the skin — and the informal mud bathing tradition at Screw's provides a quintessentially Dominican geothermal experience that is earthy, authentic, and deeply connected to the island's volcanic landscape. Wotten Waven's cluster of community hot spring facilities, of which Screw's is among the most visited, embodies Dominica's model of volcano-based ecotourism that benefits local communities directly.
