One must be aware that one is on an active volcano at high altitude, in an unstable lava terrain, and that in addition to possible eruptive activity, extreme weather conditions such as cold, strong wind, storms, lightning and fog can occur.
This hike, in relation to its type and altitude, is suitable for people in good physical health, who do not suffer from any particular pathologies (strongly discouraged for those suffering from cardiovascular problems, respiratory problems, asthma, hypertension and those who suffer from panic attacks and/or anxiety).
Pregnant women who have exceeded the third month of pregnancy are not permitted any type of hiking activity.
Since you will be reaching altitudes above 3,000 metres, you may experience symptoms of fatigue.
During the hike, as some passages along the crater rim are planned, dizziness may be an issue.
The use of contact lenses is not recommended due to the presence of volcanic ash, which could easily cause problems in windy conditions. Those who cannot do without contact lenses are requested to wear sunglasses and also to notify the Volcanology Guide before the start of the excursion.
n order for the hike to be successful, it is important to know one’s health condition and possibly present it to the Volcanological Guide so as to decrease the occurrence of any problems and avoid taking inappropriate risks.

The excursion will be carried out within the limits set by current ordinances.
All participants are required to follow the directions given by the Volcanological Guide, respecting the Guide’s choice in terms of timing, pace, route, distance, and maximum altitude reached.
The excursion may change at the discretion of the Volcanological Guide or be interrupted if environmental, atmospheric or volcanic conditions change, or if there are hazards that cannot be eliminated that could compromise the safety of an individual participant or the entire group.
