Myself and other volunteers hiking Volcan Pacaya March 18, 2007. This was the longest, hardest hike of my life - but I should take into consideration that I don't normally hike up volcanoes. We're standing on hardened lava, but beneath the surface fresh lava does flow, making the area very hot. The reddish substance in the background is molten lava... sooo cool!!! Last picture is of Teo and I in the back of the pick-up on the way home.
