Pacaya Volcano
Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover
Stop: 2 hours - admission not included


Pacaya Volcano is one of Guatemalaās most accessible and exciting volcanic hikes, attracting adventurers eager to witness its raw, geological power. Rising over 2,500 meters, this active volcano has frequent lava flows, emitting smoke and heat that create a surreal landscape. The moderate hike is about 5 km and, depending on your skill level, takes about 4 hours total, winding through lush forests before reaching the rocky summit. Once at the top, visitors can experience the heat radiating from the volcanic vents (perfect for roasting marshmallows, a unique highlight of the trek). While eruptions vary, Pacaya remains one of the best places in Central America to see an active volcano up close. Expect to pay a fee for entrance to the national park and the mandatory guide. Sturdy footwear and layered clothing are recommended, as conditions can shift quickly, and one should keep in mind that altitude sickness is common for those who havenāt acclimated yet.
