Pacaya Volcano

Pacaya Volcano is one of Guatemala’s most active and accessible volcanoes, located about an hour south of Guatemala City. It rises to over 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) and is known for frequent lava flows, steam vents, and volcanic ash activity. Visitors can hike on hardened lava fields and sometimes see glowing lava, depending on current activity. The volcano offers dramatic views of surrounding mountains and other volcanos.

  • Great Experience!

    Great experience! Easy pickup by Guy- great drive to and back from meeting spot. He gave us a ton of information about local and regional experiences. Local guide and cow dogs were amazing. Pizza was delicious, volcano and whole experience was a complete win. The horses were gentle and knew what they were doing. Easy to ride and well cared for. Very happy with the whole day. Thank you!

  • Where else will you eat a pizza on an active volcano?

    If you’re in Antigua, this is the tour to book! My tour guide was Guy. He was very kind, he knew so much history about Guatemala that he shared, & he was just very comfortable to be around. He took me and one other solo traveler to the market in the morning a couple hours before the tour started and we got to eat a local tortilla breakfast on the street curb. The tour itself was an experience I’ll remember for a lifetime. I road a horse all the way up Pacaya volcano, saw some really cool animals on the way, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the villages below. Once we got to the top, Guy built a little tower out of volcanic rock and we had a competition to see who could throw a stone to knock it down while we waited for pizza. I highly recommend this tour. It was absolutely the highlight of my Guatemala trip!

  • sooo much awe

    to echo someone else, if you’re thinking about it just do it! i was thinking about it and eventually i was like why not and it was so very lovely. they picked me up from my accommodation (and then another solo traveler after) it was so simple and prompt and our tour guide was great. i felt he really added to the experience as well w his story telling and knowledge of the area. what i loved was really the essence of the experience - you’re riding horses (that they actually care about) up a volcano overlooking beautiful lush land and at times you feel like you’re in the clouds. it is magical. and our local guides who accompanied us up the volcano were also so lovely. and guys to have pizza that is cooked w lava heat by the only guy to do it truly what a freaking life experience!!!!! and then there are doggies all around and you’re eating pizza on a volcano - pizza that is cooked w lava heat (just an extra emphasis). just what a beautiful and unique experience. and when i was looking out at everything that was surrounding me, really being present i just felt this big feeling of awe. i spent 10 days in guatemala and i feel this was truly the highlight of my trip. so, i would say just do it. i feel everyone deserves this experience at least once in their life :)

    Horseback ride up to a pizza cook in a volcano and we got lucky and had a private tour. The communication was clear and everything was included. A little more expensive that other tours offered but worth the price to not be with a big group. We saw the big groups and we very happy to be with only our guide. Worth the price.

    We communited with Chris via whatsapp, very clear. Our driver spoke little English but was very kind, even got us some local snacks for the ride. Once we arrived to the volcanoe we met the local guides and enjoyed a ride up. It was cool going up to the top and then getting to see where the volcano exploded and took out everything in its path...and hearing the guides story about how he was a young boy when this happened made it even more intense. The pizza chef is very friendly too, he is famous for the tik tokers. The lava store was closed cause it was a sunset tour. Pizza was actually good too, lots of cheese and tasty. We didnt get much of a sunset cause it was cloudy on this day, but It still made good photos and everybody we met was in a good mood so we had fun. Going down in the dark was kind of scary at times but the horses were very well taken care of and never did I feel unsafe. Would recommend this tour to others.

  • This was a fun way to see...

    Such a bucket-list experience. The views of the lava fields were stunning and roasting marshmallows over hot volcanic rock felt surreal. The guide jimmy had us laughing nonstop but also shared so much insight about the geology and local culture. Easily one of the best tours we’ve ever done.

    Perfect mix of adventure and fun. The horseback ride made it accessible and relaxing, and the volcanic pizza was surprisingly delicious! The guide made sure everyone felt comfortable and entertained the whole time. The marshmallows at sunset were such a vibe.

    We would recomend the experience, everything was as mentioned. Our driver was kind and friendly, not much english so we got to practice our Spanish, and upon arriving to the volcano our guide spoke english and told us a few stories. The horses seemed well cared for and the pizza was delicious. We were the only 2 people on the trip so it was very comfortable, and there were only a few other groups up top, the guide mentioned it was a quiet day
