Volcan de Pacaya

Yesterday I went on a guided hike up the active Pacaya Volcano. It was extremely foggy, especially at the top, so there were not many views, but the lava was awesome! As the sun went down the fog refelcted the brilliant red of the lava.
The hike was steep and fairly difficult, there were little boys offereing taxi rides at every steep corner--horse back rides, that is. As we got closer to the volcanic activity the rocks below our feet grew hotter and hotter--my chakos survived, but with all the scree, I don´t reccommend wearing sandals at all! I ended up walking barefoot and exfoliating my feet a little too much!
I was such a beautiful expereince!
