Absolutely amazing trip for our family of 7. Three adults and four kids ages 3-12. Our guide Josué spoke beautiful English and was the most helpful, kind and patient person with our group. They picked us up from the house in Antigua and we drove 1.5 hours to the volcano. There we met with a local guide Luis and he accompanied us up the mountain as well. We ended up getting three horses for the kids to really enjoy the whole experience. This was extra and paid directly to the local guide Luis at the end. It’s the main source of income for the people who live in the town and we were happy to pay them extra. Wear long pants, layers and hats. The UV rays get stronger the higher you go and even our tan Floridian skin got quite burnt! The best part of the experience was the pizza cooked by the volcano at the top! It was also an extra cost but so worth it! Daniel the pizza maker was so amazing and made the best pizza I’ve had with fresh ingredients at the top of the volcano. It was truly one of the most spectacular experiences our traveling family has had. By far the best day of the whole trip. The kindness and thoughtfulness of Josué and his driver Ernesto truly made the trip above and beyond.
