Montagnes del Fuego

A few minutes up the road from the camel ride was the volcano national park. It featured a stunning, barren landscape. At the top of the drive was a restaurant where we decided to dine - its top feature was both chicken and seafood grilled over the heat emitted by the still-radiant volcano. No lava - but lots of heat. The chicken was actually quite tasty. The heat also allowed for some other minor spectacles, such as fire coming out of the mountain and geysers-on-demand. A pail of water poured into small holes was flash-boiled and the steam spewed into the air.
