Experience an up-close look at one of Guatemala's active volcanoes during this rigorous, full-day, guided hike to the Pacaya Volcano! Enjoy an air-conditioned transportation drive to Pacaya National Park where you'll be greeted by certified guides. Begin your two hour trek up the mountain through forests and meadowlands which give way to volcanic sand and rock. Smell sulphur in the air as you reach a platform near the top of the volcano if the conditions allow it. Have your cameras at the ready for panoramic vistas of surrounding mountains. It's time to take a break and enjoy a beverage and snack that is provided. Enjoy a less strenuous one hour hike back down the mountain, contemplating the rare beauty you have witnessed on your volcano adventure.
