Here's the map and a trip report I put together about our caving trip to Guatemala. Big thanks to
RUTAHSA ADVENTURES for putting together such a great trip.
Antigua, Guatemala.

Our final adventures in Guatemala were a return to Antigua for a chance to unwind and do some souvenir shopping at the colorful markets. Then a trip to and hike up Volcan Pacaya.
Volcan Pacaya, Guatemala.
Volcan Pacaya
This was an amazing experience as we watched molten lava flow out from the side of the volcanoes cone and roll down the hill side. We climbed until we were within a few feet of the glowing; molten lava then began a hasty retreat down the mountain. A large tour group had come up behind us and I heard one of the women remarking she smelled something burning.

I jokingly commented that she must be on fire but when we stopped at a large section of cooler lava, she saw that her shoes had actually melted a little.

Here's a picture I took from the doorway of our hotel in Antigua as we waited for the shuttle to take us to the airport.

Like Captain Nemo's voyage's into the sea, we drift the endless currents of the internet. Where will we surface next? Only the Captain truly knows.
