The hike was kind of challenging but great, the walking stick rental was $2 but worth every penny because I have a bad knee and I didn’t want to give up and ride a horse:) All uphill and not used to the altitude. The marshmallow roasting was a fun ending! After the hike we drove about 40 minutes to a fancy resort for the lunch, then went on the ‘thermal circuit’. We didn’t get much for instructions so ask questions! There were four small pools ranging from something like 75 to 105 F. Free smoothies too! It felt quite luxurious! Our driver simply waited until we were done, so we stayed at the pools for a couple hours, felt really good in the tired muscles:) I wish I had brought a clean set of clothes do that I didn’t have to put my sweaty hiking clothes back on afterward

I want to suggest this activity to anybody who is in doubt: it is sooo worth it! The only remark I have is that you should not expect the hike to be very easy. It is manageable, but don't expect the walk in the park, you gonna have to sweat for it!! Such a great pairing with the hot springs - outstanding experience. Relaxes your tired muscles as best as possible! Lunch was also very delicious. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour guide, tour, and much needed relaxation afterward

Our tour guide Erika was phenomenal! Friendly, fun, informative, and stopped/slowed down when I needed a breather. No judgment. The tour was great! No lava the day we went but the lava rocks and remains of the big eruption looks like a movie set. After the tour we had lunch and much needed soak in the thermal circuit at Santa Tersita. The perfect end to a great morning.
