Physically one of the hardest hike I’ve ever done.

It’s constant climbing for nearly 4 hours. It’s like climbing a stairs but in massive humidity and heat.

You must carry at least 4 litres of water and have a guide. Cannot go up without and it’s not recommended. In some parts it’s easy to get lost as the path isn’t always clear and there also snakes.

On the way down it’s quicker but painful as your legs will be already shaking.

There is a fun bit about few hundred meters long where you can slide on volcanic rocks, kind of like skating downhill. It will destroy your shoes though.
