6 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

In the option one day, it is for private groups with a minimum of 4. The Pacaya Volcano (2,552 m / 8,370 ft) is one of the most impressive and accessible volcanic landscapes in Guatemala, located within its own national park on the outskirts of the City. This moderate, intermediate-level excursion is perfect for travelers looking for a rewarding but manageable challenge, making it a great option for families or as a warm-up before tackling larger volcanoes like Acatenango and Fuego. For greater ease, local horses can be rented at the start of the trail.
We leave Antigua at 7:00 on a picturesque 1.3-hour journey to the start of the trail. As we ascend a network of trails, wide views of the Guatemalan highlands begin to unfold. Upon reaching the foothills of the volcano, we explored the spectacular fields of petrified lava, walking through the volcanic rock, feeling the heat of the geothermal hot spots

    Parque Nacional Volcan De Pacaya

    We arrive by your group at the pickup point in Antigua Guatemala and move to Pacaya Volcano National Park. It is an easy volcano to ascend and does not require an excellent physical condition, we will arrive at the skirts of the volcano and prepare to see the impressive landscapes of petrified lava that flowed from the crater, we will feel the steam emanating from the rock and prepare one small marshmallows with the saying steam, is what makes it fascinating. You also have the option to try the famous pacaya pizza. Come and live your experience!! Pacaya volcano is one of many (active) located around Antigua, the ancient capital of Guatemala, and perhaps the most accessible. The last major eruption of Pacaya volcano was in 2010. Until 2016, it was actually possible to see lava up close during the hike: different tour companies took different routes. During sunset hikes you can observe the volcano of Acatenango and Fuego from other vantage points.
