This moderate level hike will bring us above the clouds to see pinks and oranges glisten over the turquoise lake.

These miners extract sulfur from the crater floor, working in harsh conditions with minimal protective gear. They carry heavy loads of sulfur, often weighing between 70 to 90 kilograms, up the steep, rocky path to the crater rim and then down to the base camp.
