Overview

Step into the breathtaking landscapes of Guatemala’s Ring of Fire, a country blessed with more than 37 volcanoes, each with its own beauty and character. Among them, Pacaya Volcano is one of the most welcoming and accessible to visitors. Known for its gentle slopes, fascinating lava rock formations, and spectacular views, Pacaya offers an unforgettable hiking experience that’s suitable for all adventure levels. Although it is a living volcano, its activity is of the Strombolian and occasionally Plinian, carefully monitored, making it a safe and unique way to experience Guatemala’s volcanic wonders up close.
Rising to about 8,000 feet above sea level, Pacaya is an ideal destination for travelers seeking an easy to moderate ascent with epic panoramic views.
Along the way, we’ll pause at steam vents and hot old lava pockets where you can roast marshmallows, a tradition that’s as fun as it is unique. At the top, we’ll prepare a special picnic for you

  • It will take us about 1.5 hours drive from Casa Mandarina in Antigua Guatemala to reach the Visitor Center in San Vicente Pacaya, where our adventure begins
  • San Vicente Pacaya
    We'll start our hike at approximately 1,900 meters (6,300 feet) above sea level. The trail has some steep sections, but we'll take it at a relaxed pace, with plenty of stops to rest, enjoy the scenery, and breathe in the fresh mountain air. Depending on your pace, the ascent may take 1.5 to 2.5 hours, remember there's no rush, it's not a race! The effort will be well worth it when we reach the closest point to the crater.
  • Pacaya Volcano
    At the summit, we wil have our time to absorb the unique energy of this living volcano. Surrounded by panoramic views and the raw beauty of cooled lava fields, you'll feel just how alive and majestic nature can be. We'll spend about an hour here, enjoying both the scenery and a Delicious volcano-cooked picnic before beginning our descent.
