Pitch Lake (La Brea)<br />
One of the three largest natural deposits of<br />
asphalt in the world, it’s deceptively boring to<br />
look at. Estimated to contain 10 million tonnes of<br />
asphalt, and spanning 109 acres; pools formed<br />
by rain contain high levels of sulphur, which are<br />
good for the skin and joints. Artefacts from the<br />
First Peoples, for whom the lake was sacred,<br />
have been unearthed here; some can be viewed<br />
at the museum in the visitor centre. 651-1232
