Entrepreneur David García has recently spent his free time baking pizzas on the Pacaya volcano in Guatemala. Recall that the volcano began to erupt in February 2021, and has been like this for the last few weeks.
García places the pizzas in a metal skillet that can withstand almost 1,000 ºC and also wears protective gear.
There have been few tourists who have climbed the Pacaya to savor a piece of this "lava pizza" and post photos on social networks: a new gastronomic trend. The pizza is cooked on the lava that gushes from the Pacaya volcano, but of course, it is not as accurate as an oven. Garcia has to make sure that the temperature does not rise too high and does not burn the molds and the dough.
Lava can reach temperatures of around 2,000 ºC so you have to observe the direction of the wind so that it is not affected by such high temperatures.
Pacaya first 'woke up' about 23,000 years ago and has erupted at least two dozen times since the Spanish conquered Guatemala in the 16th century.
