From Houston tx to Sunset at Pacya

5.00It is beautiful along the route and as you increase elevation it gets better. The sunset view on this cloudy day was spectacular. Views match our trips in Panama and France using Viator . The service and kindness by the people working the tour outstanding . We choose nature's taxi (horse). To go up, you can choose to walk great. Horse you pay extra and helps the cowboys of the area. Our personal guide/driver Kenneth D was outstanding as well, navigating traffic to get us to location. Helping me finish the final walk to roast marshmallows . The gentlemen at the Lava store where my wife waited for me to return also provide great service and explain the goods sold .
Beautiful tour to watch the sunset

5.00Beautiful tour to see the sunset of the volcano. My guide Aeneas always very friendly and willing. 100% recommended for a half day tour. The climb is a bit demanding.
