Great guide, amazing views, and some exercise - If anything like me, you’ll sweat, you’ll huff and puff and your legs will ache but the effort is well worth it. Amazing views of (but really not from, due to cloud cover) Santa Ana’s milky turquoise crater lake and the surrounding multihued slopes. Hike thru jungle and lava plain, fortunately not straight up but zigzagging with lots of flat stretches on which to catch your breath. My guide Adonis was amazing and encouraging and escorted me on the climb of a lifetime. Follows up all the fun with a delicious lunch on a crater rim above another, much larger lake nearby. Highly recommend !

Tour suitable for everyone with a Top Guide - A beautiful and quiet tour, it is not very demanding to climb the volcano, but it is worth it for the beauty of the landscape, as well as that of the lake. Guide was Christian Rendon, who is top. He has a lot of mountaineering experience and a lot of mountain knowledge. Besides, he tells a lot of things about his country, anything you ask him. It is worth taking the tour with Christian, a 10 for him as Guide.

Superb tour experience. - View of the crater at the summit is truly breathtaking. "Raul," our guide was extremely knowledgeable (and not only about the site) and professional. He speaks is spoken so all can hear and understand his excellent commentary. Truly, a great communicator. I found his knowledge of the site and culture in general excellent. Having lunch afterwards at the mercado food court was a great option! Lucky that we got him for the tour!
