Dancing on volcanoes is not necessarily brave.Octavian Paler.

Hello everyone,

If a few days ago I shared with you pictures of the Racos area of the emerald lake there, a special place of course, today I don't want us to go too far from the Racos area and I want us to go together to see the extinct volcano and the basalt columns of Racos.

We left behind the emerald lake and headed towards the cone of the extinct volcano Racos, after a short walk when we almost arrived we had a big surprise, namely at the entrance we were greeted by a very large information board informing us that it is strictly forbidden to film, photograph and even visit the cone of the extinct volcano, why it is forbidden to enter there, also on that board it informed us that a movie is being filmed and that until the end of 2022 no entry is allowed.

Being with other tourists who struggled to get here, I saw a lot of dissatisfaction because they closed such a tourist attraction for two years to film a movie.

Of course we freaked out and disregarded what it said on the information board and climbed to the top of the volcano to see for ourselves what was really going on inside the volcano, there we found out that the movie being filmed there was a western.

Arriving at the top of the volcano and seeing what the filmmakers have created there I was speechless, actually inside the volcano was created a western village whole in the smallest details.

Our adventure there didn't last too long as the set security company immediately came to us and asked us to show them what pictures or what we shot there, and the pictures that I attach here now are the only pictures that the security company employees decided I could keep without having to follow them.

As far as we know, this western series is for the Netflix platform.

That's it for this adventure, now we're heading for the basalt columns of Racos.

Not far from the emerald lake we find the hidden basalt columns.

The very intense volcanic activity in this area has led to the formation of these formations by rapid cooling of the volcanic lava.

The height of these formations varies between 10-15 meters high.

That's Adventure for today.

Thank you in advance for joining me today on adventures we will never forget.

Yours @triplug
