Volcan de Agua

Many people recommended that my 15-year-old son and I talk to the police in St. Ma. de Jesus about a guide. They roused officer Juan from his bed. He was a very serious and capable guide. At the summit, we banged on the metal building where two men were watching TV. (Reception is good, with 44 antennae up there). They served us 3 instant soups and tortillas 20Q. While my son and I slipped and slid down many times on the descent, Juan never did. I recommend going slow downhill; I (51 yrs) was sore for a week. We gave Juan 100Q as a tip and he was very happy.
