Although Juan was not able to come on the hike to the volcano. I went alone with a group of Germans and two American guides. It was a relatively tough hike up the volcano with numerous exposed, extremely hot parts. The views were spectacular.

At the top, we set up camp, right near the crater although with the warm weather and lack of bugs, several of us including myself simply slept outside. We watched the sunset then walked to the crater. It did not come out well on film, but there is a huge crater with lava at the base and tons of sulfurous smoke spewing out of the crater. We returned for some dinner and a campfire and had an early night.
