as we saw people going up in jeans. Bring at least one bottle of water, once it's finished don't worry because along the trail you can refill at two fountains.

I definitely recommend wearing very light and breathable clothing as we saw people going up in jeans. Bring at least one bottle of water, once it's finished don't worry because along the trail you can refill at two fountains.

There are no signs on the trail to the Grotto. Just follow the map and trail a little bit downhill to the entrance. I found this Grotto much more interesting and beautiful than the Grotto along the main trail.

The entrance looks unspectacular, but after you enter it, it is really beautiful. If you bring head lights or a flashlight you can go inside and have some nice views outside.

A beautiful, fresh and suggestive source that is accessed through a narrow and dark tunnel of a few meters. At the end of the tunnel there is a small open-air area, in which only two or three people can be at the same time, from the wall of which the water flows. I recommend bringing a torch or a headlamp because the tunnel, although short, is very dark as it bends sharply.

The only thing to note is that there are grottos to the right and left, whereas to the right you have to descend much further and these are perhaps a little less impressive. In my opinion, the descent is also worthwhile because you can see this beautiful formation of stripes from the different lava layers opposite.
