El Volcán de Pacaya es simplemente majestuoso. Ha sido uno de los "wao" más genuinos de mi vida. El tour recomendado al 100%, nuestro tour guide; Maynor David, una persona muy paciente y amable. Inicie el tour caminando y posteriormente le solicité apoyo con un caballo para lograrlo y muy amablemente hizo toda la gestión para conseguir uno y que pudiera terminar más cómodamente el tour.

Super organisierte Tour auf einen aktiven Vulkan. Die Tour mit unserem Guide Carlos hat in einer kleinen Gruppe viel Spaß gemacht.
Der Ausflug ist sehr zu empfehlen.
PS: eine leckere Pizza auf dem Vulkan rundet den Ausflug ab

El transporte del hotel al punto de empezar la caminata fue muy confortable. El guia, Mayor David se adapto a mi velocidad, explico de todo sobre el volcan, la naturaleza y otras historias interesantes. Tomando el tiempo no es duro subir al volcan. Lo recomiendo 100%!
Muchas gracias a la agencia!!
