The surrounding park quickly closed, leaving travellers expecting to hike the dense cloud forest surrounding the world’s second-largest volcano crater gazing on in dismay. Well, a year and a half later, it’s back with all-new safety measures and views to rival any hike in Latin America. It’s time to hit the slopes again!
