Stop At: Pacaya Volcano, Antigua 05001 Guatemala
Pacaya is one of the most accessible active volcano walks that you can experience in the country. The tour starts with a pick up and transfer from any centrally located hotel in Antigua. After one hour ride you will arrive at the entrance of the National Park where you have time to go to the bathroom and prepare your self to climb. This tour can be walking or in a horse (horse is not included). After walking along the trails of the volcanic sand with great views, you will reach the plateau from which you can see the main crater of the volcano. For safety reasons is not possible to visit it, but you will see some steam emanations produced by the heat of the volcano. Come across the dried lava fields to roast your marshmallows. After a while, is time to start to descend and take your bus back to Antigua.

We had a great time at the volcano, the purchased Hike to Pacaya Volcano from Antigua does not include a required 50Q about $9 entry fee to volcano. Take local currency
Too dangerous to travel on to the rim. I would have liked to of seen molten lava within the volcano.
Great trip. Shuttle was on time at 6am, picked us up and dropped us off from the hostel. Tour guide Lionel made the trip up Pacaya enjoyable. Definitely recommend.
