What To Expect
Experience views of some of Guatemala's most active volcanoes from up close as you hike to the top of Pacaya, where you'll enjoy unforgettable views from the top of this 8,000-foot (2,438m) peak.Start your day with an 8am pickup from your Antigua hotel, taking a 15 mile (25km) drive southeast to the base of this lumbering giant. Upon reaching the base, you'll begin a 2.5-hour climb to the peak with your guide, learning about the history of this unique volcano and the vegetation that thrives in this strange environment. A mild walk brings you the lagoon of Calderas, where you can take in the amazing views of three nearby volcanoes, including Agua, Fuego and Acatenango.Then continue on towards a plateau in the trail, a vantage point from which you'll be able to observe the main crater along with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Due to safety concerns, you won't venture all the way to the volcano's crater, but you will have the chance to see glistening lava and a series of steam baths created by its heat.Take a few moments to revel in the incredible views from up high before beginning your descent back down to the base and then back to Antigua for a drop-off at your hotel.
