If you are lucky, you may even see the luminescent lava of Volcan Fuego as it lights up the night sky. Our Geckos leader will show us the highlights of the town and lead us to the summit of one of the nearby volcanoes. If you still have energy to spare there are also some fun optional activities such as horseback riding, cycling and rafting. Our trip ends in the morning of Day 10.
