It’s the ultimate tourist hotspot.

Some people seek refuge from the heat, while others want to steam in it — including tourists flocking to Death Valley National Park for an expected mind-melting world heat record that could be set this weekend.

The park straddling California and Nevada is well known for its torrid temps, but sweat aficionados want to experience what’s in store at Furnace Creek, where the visitor center is located, Forbes reported.

The heat is expected to hit a high of 131 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday, ​setting a world record for the hottest temperature ever reliably recorded, the National Weather Service told the news outlet.
