- Pacaya - Begin your journey with a picturesque drive from Antigua to the base of Pacaya Volcano, one of the most accessible active volcanoes in Guatemala. Upon arrival, meet your local guide and start the hike through forest trails, volcanic rock, and ash-covered paths at a pace that suits your group.
During the hike, enjoy views of nearby volcanoes, learn about Pacaya’s volcanic activity, and walk across solidified lava fields from past eruptions. Although red lava is not currently visible, you might see steam vents and experience geothermal heat depending on volcanic conditions.
As this is a private experience, the pace is more adaptable than larger group tours, allowing extra time for photos, short breaks, and appreciating the landscape.
On some trips, travelers may opt to visit the renowned Pizza Pacaya area, where pizzas are cooked using volcanic heat (optional and arranged directly with the local provider).
Morning departures are generally advised during the rainy season for better weather conditions.
