Actually, the tour was planned completely differently and it is not worth pursuing it in this form. I'll put them here anyway to give you some information. My information situation was a bit thin before this tour.

Beautiful hike of moderate difficulty. We chose the longest route, about 5 km. Partly, you walk over lava scree and steps. Light hiking boots are required. You should have good surefootedness.

Nice varied path over the lava field of the 1968 eruption. Leads over the lava field into the jungle by the lake. Well developed, but good shoes make sense that often go over edgy lava rocks.
ADMISSION WITH APPROX. 18 € still moderate "only" for hiking. At the lake we had seen groups of HOWLER MONKEYS and occasional birds.
