Accepted Answer

Trekking in small groups! Ascent with off-road vehicles along the panoramic path on the northern side of the volcano, till a height of 2825 mt. From this point we start the ascent on foot on a path surrounded by volcanic scoria and bombs. After doing 470mt positive level difference, we will reach the edge of the Central Crater (main crater of the volcano), at an altitude of 3300 mt. There we will stop to admire the uniqueness and the processes of the volcanic environment. the descent is planned on foot from 3300 to 1800 meters for about 7 kilometers, passing through large gullies full of soft volcanic sand to the starting point of the excursion. Total kilometers (round-trip):12 km Max altitude reached:3300 mt Min altitude reached:1800 mt Total climb uphill:470 mt Total climb downhill:1500 mt - The long descent could be harder than the climb, as you descend 1500 meters of negative altitude. Difficulty: Absolutely suitable for experienced hikers.
