We finally made it to the right place after getting lost for two hours, and we are ready for our hike up the Santa Ana Volcano. All we have to do now it just follow the signs and start our hike.
Cute little pathway through a private property.
Opening the gate to the cute little pathway. Just following the signs, not knowing what to expect on our way.
This is where we have to hike up to. It doesn't really look like a volcano since it is not very steep, but it is huge on top, so it looks like a normal mountain.
This is getting very exciting now. We are finally here. Yay.
I believ this was just an abounded church in the middle of nowhere.
So the last time the Santa Ana Volcano erupted in October of 2005.
So we made it to this cute little park with few stores and washrooms and office where we can finally get some information and where you pay for your hike which is $3.00/person.
Cute little rest place.
So after asking some questions at the office, we found out that we are not allowed to keep on hiking up the volcano since it is too late and we are not allowed to hike by ourselves.
You are only allowed to hike up with either the police officer which we would have to go to another place to get registered for specific day and time or we can come back tomorrow at 11 am and hike up with a tour guy and more people.
Well....this was disappointing since we were so ready for our hike and we just have wasted more time (the whole day) and we have not seen the volcano and now we have to drive to a different place to get registered for maybe tomorrow morning.
Now we are heading back down where we started. We felt really discouraged after trying all day to hike up the volcano and the more we try the more setbacks we get, but we will try to look for the registration place and see if we get any luck.
Came back the same way and closed the gate to the cute pathway. Bye, bye volcano. Maybe next time.
Now we are off to driving some more and looking for the registration place which we found and glad we did, since it was another great and beautiful place to see, but again I will share that with you tomorrow since there is some more beautiful scenery of another volcano etc. So stay tuned, dear friends.
I don't want to make the posts too long and because every place we had to stop by, was absolutely breathtaking and I took lots of pictures, so be patient with me when I take you step by step to our hike on the Santa Ana Volcano.
It's the whole experience we had, was just a great experience, even though it took us two days to finally get to the top of the volcano.
Hope you all enjoyed your Tuesday and wish you all a very, very wonderful Wednesday.
Love

Ah what a shame yea stuff like this can happen and makes sense since the volcano last erupted 2005 which isn't exactly a very long time @joalvarez
Yes. We were a bit bummed but we still got to enjoy our awesome day in this gorgeous nature and we have learned so much.
I am happy that you had a great time hiking but you didn't get to your intended destination but there is another time God-willing.
Maybe make another plan of a picnic if that happens again @joalvarez
Absolutely dear friend.
All of this did happen for a reason and that is why I knew that God controls it all and we should just enjoy the day anyways, and to tell you the truth it was not a hard thing to do, since we still enjoyed this gorgeous nature and it is all good and wonderful.
