Review & FAQ:

The Piparo Mud Volcano erupted on February 22, 1997, forcing the inhabitants of the village of Piparo to evacuate their homes before the volcano completely flooded them with mud. Most of the village was buried under more than a square mile of mud that quickly hardened to resemble concrete, and the destruction can still be seen to this day. Although volcano is no longer believed to possess any immediate danger, visitors can observe the gray mud bubbling up through several cracks in the ground. There are no signs directing visitors to the site, so it's advisable to hire a tour guide.
