In addition, a soft, white mud lies at the bottom of the lagoon and bathers can cover themselves and witness the magic. Thanks to a special renewable ecosystem in which new water is circulated in every 2 days, there is no harmful bacteria and the lagoon does not need the assistance of chemicals to provide its characteristic wellness factors.
