Our tour guide could not speak English and we could not speak Spanish but we still had a wonderful time. And thanks to Google translate and the little bit of Spanish we know in a little bit of English they knew it was fine. It was nice because our group was small and other groups were enormous going up. We did not get to see flowing lava that we felt very hot rocks and got to melt marshmallows. Highly recommend bringing plenty of quetzales so that you can rent horses or sticks. The sticks are worth it and they support the local community. You give them back when you’re done. The horses have a lot of ticks and are sort of dirty but they make the hike easier. We paid 20 US for a horse and I think you can get the sticks for like two dollars or less. Try to remember to bring a tip for your tour guide they appreciate that. …

Easy enough walk up to volcano and really cool to roast marshmallows off the cooled lava and see molten lava not too far from you.

We had a guide and on horseback, we rode to the top. It was an amazing experience and we witnessed rocks glowing red rolling down towards us. Exciting and slightly terrifying! (in a fun way)

Wow, this is an amazing place. First off, it is quite a hike up the volcano, I am fairly fit but it was hard - steep, loose under foot and relentless, it’s no wonder they follow you up for the first part with horses waiting for you to need them. But, keep going and the sight at the top is so worth it, we saw lava rolling down the volcano. You can come down a longer, but less steep route which is easier on the knees. …

We did the overnight hike with a guide from OX. It was amazing! Roasting marshmallows on hot rocks while watching the sun set from a volcano will be an experience I’ll never forget.
