This tour provides a unique, up-close experience on the slopes of an active volcano! The two hour climb will surely leave you a bit breathless, but the views are worth it. You will be able to clamber over volcanic rock, roast marshmallows in heat vents, and potentially see erupting ash and lava. For those looking for a less-active experience, you can rent a horse on site from the horse handlers. (We are not affiliated with the horses). Please note that Pacaya is an ACTIVE volcano, and due to safety regulations, you cannot walk up to the summit. Pacaya spews hot ash, rock, and lava, and travelers visit at their own risk. This is the easiest volcano climb in Guatemala that gets you up close and personal with an active volcano, however, it is still a two-hour uphill hike. You must provide your pick-up address at the time of booking, including hotel name. Please wear closed-toe shoes, bring sun and rain protection, and bring local currency to pay the entry fee (Q100 for foreigners)

Air-conditioned vehicle

You will arrive at the base of Pacaya Volcano after a 1.5 hour ride from Antigua. After paying your Q100 National Park entrance fee (please bring exact change), you start the two-hour climb. Pacaya is an active volcano and you may see short lava flows or hear her belch some ash and rock, however, due to safety concerns, you will not be allowed to go directly to the summit as Pacaya has been more active lately. (This is a regulation that your guides must legally enforce.) After a short break, you'll head back down the mountain for the trip back to Antigua. If you prefer, you can negotiate and rent a horse to ride up and/or down the volcano. The hike takes approximately two hours uphill. Please wear closed-toe shoes, bring sun and rain protection, and as it is cold at higher elevations, bring a warm sweater. You will need bottled water and perhaps a snack. Return to Antigua at approximately 1pm for morning departures, and at approximately 8pm for afternoon departures.
