The first part of the day features a moderate hike up a volcanic cone. Thanks to a well-maintained wooden staircase and handrails, the climb is safe and accessible. From the summit, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking, panoramic view of the surrounding islands and dramatic volcanic landscapes.
