Getting close to the lava

Our first stop in Guatemala was Antigua - a very beautiful colonial city - but so touristy you could be almost anywhere in the world. We felt like we saw more tourists in Antigua than in the first two months of our trip combined.

A very active volcano - Pacaya - is about one hour away from Antigua. We didn't lose the opportunity to climb it and inspect the lava from close-by. It was pretty amazing, we literally had to watch our step to make sure we don't step inside this "liquid fire".
