    Another nice picture from nearly above on the Pacaya Vulcano.
    You can see it's getting dark by that time.

    Emilio, our guide, looks 70 but is far better condition than all of us.
    He speaks reasonable English but is not much of a talker.

    Looking down on the city while very near to the crater.
    Look what clothes we wear - it's very cold up there. Much colder than we expected.

    That's what you see when you arrive the top.

    Descending in the dark looked like a very risky business and the use of our flashlight was necessary.

    Pacaya Volcano: Volcan Pacaya - Awesome

    Climbing Volcan Pacaya was one of the coolest things I have ever done. We booked through a company called Old Town Outfitters. It was a little bit more expensive than the other tour operators but our tour guide was great and he fixed us dinner when we finished the hike. It was a awesome way to get to know the other people on the trip (we were the only Americans so it was cool to visit with the other travelers). As for the actual hike, it took about 1.5 hours to climb to the top. We went at sunset so when we got to the top you could see the sun setting over the other 3 volcanos surrounding Antigua. All I can say is - absolutely beautiful.

    When we got the the lava rock our guide informed us that we would be walking over it to get a close up look at the running lava. I recommend bringing VERY tough shoes (fresh lava rock is sharp), gloves, a jacket (it's cold at the top) and a flashlight. We ended up getting about 3 feet away from the lava (you could smell melting rubber as some peoples shoes were melting).

    All in all the hiking trip was a little dangerous but I would do it again in a heartbeat. Volcan Pacaya is a "do not miss" while in Guatemala.
