Chicabal hike

So I thought I got a picture of the climb up but apparently I only have pictures of the extremely steep stairs on part of the descent down to the lake. We did NOT have to take the stairs back up, thank goodness. Notice on the entrance sign (first picture) that gringos ("Internacionales") pay more to enter than people in Guatemala. This is standard at almost all tourist attractions in Guatemala, including the convents and churches we saw in Antigua. The last picture is another view of the Santa Maria volcano, which can also be seen easily from Xela.
