Pacaya

Really difficult hike, but well worth it for the view. Lots of friendly dogs that just might follow you the whole way.

A very scenic and historic hike!! I rode on horseback which was even better. We saw lava flows only 3 years old and ate pizza that was cooked on the hot lava rocks too.

Great experience hiking the volcano. If you are driving there by yourself be careful, getting there was an adventure by itself. Do not follow google maps, it took us through sketchy neighborhoods with terrible roads and potholes that could fit a person. In the end I gave up on google maps when it told us to get through a bridge that was broken. Waze worked much better and took us there. However notice that the guide cost Q200 and the parking plus Q30. You also can't choose a guide and have to get the next one in line, no matter if he speaks english well or not. If your group is not big it might be worth it to just be part of a tour group from antigua and not have to worry about the drive, or about being lucky enough to get a good guide.

Great for beginners. Gorgeous view. Tip your local guides! Make sure you have good walking shoes because the volcanic sand can be slippery on walk on. Tourists left marshmallow sticks behind so don’t be one of those people. Leave footprints only!

This was my second volcano tour. Although, I didn’t see lava, it was a nice hike and you could see steam coming up from the rocks. My son and I loved it. FYI, it cost $100 quetzales to enter the park

We had what would be called an interesting experience. Weather did not cooperate and we had to hike up in the rain and wind. We made the best out of it and did enjoy ourselves. Hike was relatively easy. 1 hour up, 45 minutes down. Never too steep or too difficult. Most people should be able to do it with relative ease. Also got to roast marshmallows up top.

This volcano is amazing to visit. We recommend a guide to the outer range hike, not just the marshmallow tour. It's still one of the top 3 active volcanos - so we'll prep and all that is highly recommend and not to risk anything! Also we met the tourist police, that was super friendly and helpful. You can use maps.me for hiking - but also check the sings out there

Nice views! You can go up by "horse taxi", by walk or atv. We were walking. Our tour guide was young boy whose family also worked there as a tour guides, including almost all his dogs. He has 8 dogs at home
