You step out of the vehicle and the air changes—warm, sulfur-scented steam edges the road while the Pitons loom like two giants guarding the bay. The drive-in volcano’s steaming vents hiss and the mud bath waits, thick and mineral-rich, daring you to smear away the salt from the sea and the travel dust from your skin.
