The 4WD vehicle will take us up to 80% of the road, and the rest of the way we will go on foot. The car ride will take us around 60-90 minutes, and we will appreciate different landscapes along the way. We will begin our hike to the summit once we arrive at the vehicle drop-off point. This is the last part of the volcano, the tip. This hike requires good physical condition, both muscular and endurance, as the path is quite steep and sandy. It will take us one and a half to two hours to walk to the top, but the scenery will make it all worth it.
