Why take this tour?

Skip the crowds and lines with privileged early access. This is a private early departure, not the 11 AM joint hike. As licensed guide I'm granted with privileged access, way ahead of the daily joint departure. This way you go on your own pace, making the experience more enjoyable. You know, the larger the group the slower it goes (and the noisier it is). Even weather tends to be more favorable on early hours. This walk goes from the cloud forest on the skirts to the volcanic wasteland at the crater. From the top you can see the steamy sulfuric acid lake at the bottom and the multicolored layers of ash on the rim as well Coatepeque caldera lake below. Skip the large groups, the warmest hours, the lines and the slow walkers. With me you can spend as much time you want by the crater. No hurries, no crowds. Enjoy the views, take pictures, Time's yours! You mark the pace. Trail partially shady. There's restrooms by the park ranger's station. Suitable for kids. Total distance: 5.5 Mi
