Somehow, an Asian-style sign appeared in the countryside.

Rural 02

"Mundo" means "world" in Spanish.

Since it is not a regional name, it must have been named with some intention.

A half-moon-shaped hot tub was connected to the large pool.

Hot Pool 01

The tub, constructed of rocks, concrete, and bricks, was located one step higher than the large pool, and geothermal was poured over it.

Hot Pool 02

The water temp at the water outlet was 129 degrees F.

There was no particular smell, and the texture was soft.

Water Temp 01

Water input was minimal due to the high temperature, but the tub was small enough to maintain good water quality.

It was a beautiful little "world".

NO DIVING 01
