Go hiking on Pacaya Volcano with the convenience of this full-day tour from Antigua. Benefit from round-trip transport to the trailhead and a guide who accompanies your group up the most active volcano in Guatemala. Be prepared for rough terrain and a moderately challenging trek with a local guide who may speak limited English. Prebooked transportation makes it easy to get to and from the volcano.
Kick off your hiking excursion with pickup directly from your Antigua hotel and transfer with your small group to the meeting point Pacaya Volcano National Park, about an hour away. Take a few minutes to use the restroom and stretch your legs at the park entrance, then set off on foot or on horseback (extra charge) with your guide.
Follow the scenic trail up the mountain slopes, pausing to take in the views before reaching the high-altitude plateau overlooking the volcanic crater. Spend some time exploring the plateau and roasting marshmallows over the heat vents that dot the lava field before beginning the descent back to the park entrance for the return transfer to Antigua.
