Yesterday we walked 16 km to the top of a vulcano Sierra Nero and also Vulcano Chico.
It was a very interesting experience. The clouds were down and it was wet and the visibility was poor. We walked at the edge of a big crater 10× 9 km but we couldn't see anything.
At vulcano Chico we walked in between small blow- holes and many exciting shapes and colours of cooled lava.
All together it was an amazing experience.

Well done! I read that this is a "strenuous 6+ hour hike in equatorial heat over uneven terrain and rocks on prolonged gradual inclined trails that can be alternatively very wet & slippery or dry and dusty" but well worth the effort.
