“Walking into Peace - I had the pleasure of experiencing the Le’Michel Volcano in April 2022. My favorite part of the trip was finding out what was next. It was an adventure getting into the forest, then we had to climb to the volcano and then hike it to the ocean. Honestly our tour guide Nick was Amazing.” - Reviewed on 2022-07-10
