Watch the lava under a full moon
We have dinner at the Quetzaltrekker office, then leave León at night by private transport to the village where the hike starts. With only the full moon to light up the paths we walk through cornfields and forest till we arrive at the crater before sunrise. While it is still dark we peek into the spectacular, more than 130 meters deep crater with glowing lava in the bottom. We wait for the sun to rise, have breakfast and then start our way down to the village of San Jacinto. In the village we visit the famous bubbling mud pools and head back to León for a light brunch.
Meet at 9:30 pm in Quetzaltrekkers office | ||
