    The views were absolutely beautiful, and the guide Julio was nice and took lots of pictures of me. You first go down into the crater, and then climb back up. The hike was easy on the way down, but quite steep and difficult on the way back up, mostly due to the high elevation. One thing I didn’t like is that on the way back up, I was walking very slowly, and the guide just left me behind (I couldn’t even see where he was). He waited for me at the very top, which I got to about an hour later. Since it was a private tour, I feel he could’ve made more of an effort to stay with me rather than racing ahead.
