Until you see it yourself, you can hardly believe there can be something like a lake of asphalt. Yet, it does exist.
Since we visited in the rainy season, there were some waterpools in the lake. Some of those are sulphurous, because of gasses released through the asphalt layers. We saw these gasses bubbling up at many places, and had some nice (and, according to our guide, rejuvenating) baths in them. In some places, you can put a stick through the asphalt layer and take out fluid tar. All in all, a very remarkable place.
