We will drive through the Afar region, occasionally we will come across nomads with camels, small villages. We make a stop for lunch on a Salt Lake. The concentration of salt there is no less than in the Dead Sea. While our chef prepares lunch, we take a dip in the lake, and then wash off the salt in a hot spring. After lunch we will continue our way to the volcano. The asphalt is replaced by a dirt road. And on the horizon, we already see the breath of a volcano. By sunset we arrive at the camp and begin the ascent. Light trekking 40 minutes and we will reach the crater. And you will understand that all the tests were worth it. You are on the edge of a volcano, above you the starry sky, and under you the lava river splashes and seethes. There are only a few such places in the world!
