"12:30 start time after kayaking. Tuk tuk from San Juan to trailhead. Went to the true summit and looped around the caldera via use trail to the vista. Local guide set up through Bambu Hotel. They spoke Tzutujil, which is a local dialect." — seancasserly • Mar 12, 2018

"This was a great hike. My first volcano in Central America. I took the bus at 6 am from Xela, had breakfast at the start of the trail and then walked up to the crater. Didn't meet anyone the whole day, except for some locals collecting wood. I got a bit lost on the way down but got back to the road around 3pm." — ncst • Mar 30, 2009
