The Pacaya Volcano Half Day Tour can be considered an easy hike but that does not mean it is not challenging in its own way!
Pacaya is SMALL but POWERFUL! The random eruptions and bursts of lava from its craters continue to change the landscape and keep this little volcano a popular site in Guatemala.
Hiking through Pacaya almost feels like you’re in a post-apocalyptic film, but one where you get to roast marshmallows. This active volcano is an easy and fun adventure for the whole family!
