The climb is steep, very good cardio training. But every step is worth it. The view is perfect. As the light appears, man becomes aware that he is on top of a volcano that is inside a volcano. And then the descent, the absolute reward for every drop of sweat squeezed out during the ascent.

L'arrivée au pied du volcan dans la nuit pour découvrir le levé du soleil dans le cratère est une des choses à voir dans sa vie, tellement l'impression est extraordinaire.
Les guides en plus sont très sympathiques, et partagent énormément.
Lors du déjeuner, nous étions comme chez nous tellement l'accueil était chaleureux !
