pacaya volcano印象

Highly recommended. The hike may be a little difficult for people who don't regularly work out, but it is still bearable. There are horses for rent at the foot of the volcano, so if you aren't sure about making it to the top, you can rent a horse. Bring enough water and food. I didn't have breakfast that morning, and unfortunately there wasn't any place for supplies at the volcano.

we did the pacaya tour in the afternoon and were glad we decided so since you get to see a nice sundown from (almost) the top of an active volcano. it offers a great view of the Agua, Fuego and Acatenango but mind: since its last eruption, there is no red lava anymore although you see it advertised - but you can still grill marshmallows up there

Easy two hour basic hike up a volcano. Bring an orange or a granola bar as well as a windbreaker or rain jacket. Combine with a spa day for a great way to spend a day around Antigua

What I liked about this trip is that the guides I met were educated on conservation and cared about their forest. In many places of Guatemala people trash a lot, not as much in Pacaya. It's also a great opportunity to see what and active volcano is like, and see the eruption history. The marsh-mellows were also pretty good, if you go, you'll know what I'm talking about. The souvenir place at the top helps out with local communities, so you might consider purchasing something there.

A definite must do if you're into hiking. Definitely bring at least 2 bottles of water with you and a some small snacks.

This is a really awesome thing to do, the hike is pretty easy as well if you have a basic level of fitness. You don't have to worry about altitude aswell. We left Antigua at 2pm arrived at 315pm and were at the volcano around 430pm, the track is covered in volcanic ash so it's soft under foot which is actually quite pleasant to walk in rather than solid rock. The hike can be done in trainers but walking shoes or boots would be better. On the way here are a number of great lookouts and in the mini crater at the top you can roast marshmallows. Take a jacket and some money (100-200Q) as there is a unique shop at the end of the hike called then "lava store selling jewellery and brackets made from wood and volcanic ash. There is an additional fee of 50q that is not normally included in your tour price, and you may wish to tip your guide also.

This past week, I was in charge of taking 20 travelers, mostly high school students, to explore the country of Guatemala. Of course, a journey to the top of the Pacaya Volcano had to be on our itinerary. I booked our entire experience through JandA Services (502-4557-5545), which is run by Jennifer and Alex Vergara. They speak excellent English, and were able to help me with all of the details. I wanted to reserve horses for all of my travelers, and they were able to get be a discounted price of 75 Q, instead of the regular 100 or 150 Q. Also, they were able to get us a great rate on round-trip transport from our hostel in Antigua. And, yes, we did take marshmallows to roast. I highly recommend the Pacaya Volcano, and I also recommend booking the tour through JandA Services.

It was az amazing trip, climbing up this volcano, our guide was extremely nice as well. It is a must do while in Antigua.

A nice hike, but the summit is closed (for the foreseeable future). Don't expect see lava or look down a carter. It is a good experience if you've never been to a volcano. It's like another world. Walking in a blackish grey desert. You also get to roast marshmallows in some very hot oven spots.

Unique experience hiking up a volcano. If you're lucky you can see lava, either way, it's worth the hike. Not too difficult either.
