The very tough and demanding 2-days hiking trip from the small village of Llanos del Pinal to a camp near the active volcano Santiaguito.
Extreme climbs and descends with a 15 kg backbag, 8 hours of heavy and continous rain, a beautiful night with red lava going down the moutain slope and a terrific morning with great eruptions of the volcano!
