If you are in Finland, you are in the land of saunas. With a population of 5.5 million people, Finland is home to around 3 million saunas.
During the excursion, you can visit and experience what a true smoke sauna feels like. It is a highly esteemed sauna experience by the Finnish people. The sauna is heated to 80 to 100°C.
