Pacaya Volcano Morning Tour from Antigua

Highlights

Hiking Pacaya Volcano is safest (and most fun) with a guide
Walk through incredible volcanic landscapes, including lava fields
All entrance fees and lunch included

Summary

Meet your guide in Antigua and grab some water and pick up any gear you might need before you drive to the trailhead in private transport. Once your guide pays the park entrance fees, get out of the car and start hiking up Pacaya Volcano. As you hike, you might see dried lava fields, local wildlife, and volcanic landscapes. Stop to enjoy a freshly prepared picnic lunch near the caldera, and check out views of the nearby volcanoes Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. If you’re lucky, you might find geothermal hot-spots still smoky enough to roast marshmallows! Your tour concludes back in Antigua.
