Itinerary and highlights
Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala is one of the most active volcanoes in Central America. With an altitude of 8300 feet above sea level, the 2-hour hiking is definitely worth the effort. Dry Lava rivers, steam wells, volcanic rocks, and sand will take you into an out-of-this-world experience. Along the hiking, you will also be able to see the surrounding volcanoes. Our well-informed guide will share with you the history and secrets of the Colossus. If you´re lucky, you might have the chance to watch lava flowing down the crater.
