What to expect
You'll be collected before dawn and driven uphill on rough volcanic tracks. The Jeep parks at a high vantage point where you'll wait for sunrise—bring layers as it's cool at altitude. Once light breaks, you'll hike across the stark black lava formations, which are visually striking but uneven underfoot. After exploring, you'll visit a coffee plantation where staff show you how beans are roasted and ground, with samples to taste. The final stop is the hot springs, a chance to wade into warm mineral-rich water surrounded by volcanic landscape. Expect basic facilities and a full morning rather than leisurely pace.
Good to know
Wear sturdy closed shoes for lava walking. Bring swimwear and a towel. The Jeep ride is bumpy—not suitable for spinal issues or pregnancy. Early starts mean limited sleep the night before. Lunch isn't included, though breakfast is. Sunscreen and a hat protect against intense UV at altitude.
