Have you ever roasted marshmallows over a volcano? Well I have. The whole group spent a Saturday morning hiking up Volcano Pacaya which was about an hour PC microbus ride away from the PC office. This was not a particularly easy hike for me. It was pretty steep, but that's not what got me. It was pretty much like climbing straight up a beach it was so sandy/dusty. So about halfway up the mountain some of us decided to take a "taxi" the rest of the way up. The "taxis" were horses lead by guides. It only cost 30 Quetzales for the ride 1/2 way up the volcano. Totally the best ~$5 I have spent in Guatemala so far. There were really great views. Also close to the top (its not safe/possible to go all of the way up) we roasted mashmallows in a hot vent in the volcano. There as no fire, we just roasted them in the natural heat coming from the volcano.

No it didn't smell at all! It was perfect marshmallow-roasting condition.
