Summary:
I had such an amazing time!! Still speechless...the hike was beautiful and not too exhausting, seeing the sunset and the sunrise from the top of the vulcano the next morning was even more impressive. Our Guides Sam & Norlan were very nice and so well prepared - especially the food was a 10/10 for a Camping trip!Thanks for the nice experience, definitely not my last time camping on a vulcano! :-)
