This is the longest way you can choose there in the national park. For hikers only to be recommended. He is as good as hardly overcrowded. Most "touris" opt for the shorter routes there. The trail was extremely muddy on my day so I strongly recommend ankle-high shoes. My alpine hiking boots were full to the stop. Unfortunately, I can not judge the best way to go, because it was pretty foggy with me, but there were two viewpoints to watch and I think they are not standing there for free, with a clear view

Hiking

The best thing to do is to go to the park at 7 a.m. and straight to the viewing platform and continue this tour from there, because then you have the best chance to see the volcanoes when the visibility is clear. Otherwise, the forest with fog is beautiful and that's how it is most of the time.
