Stunning view from the top of the volcano. I slept overnight in a cottage near the volcano and the next day hope the group coming from Cerro Verde to climb the volcano accompanied by guides (it is not recommended to upload only). It should have good physical condition for the walk (though it is less heavy than the Izalco volcano). Would definitely make again!

It is an economic and family walk
