Mobile ticket
The Pacaya Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Guatemala, with a height of approximately 2,500 meters above sea level. The environment is made up of wet forests and rocks. It has stunning views of the Calderas Lagoon which we visit from the seat of our ATVs and three other volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. On our unique Adventure we will take ATVs from San Vicente Pacaya to various areas near and around the Pacaya Volcano. We will go on various trails to some of the villages located at the base of the volcano, where we are able to hike up the side of the volcano on top of the petrified lava flow as high as you are able to go. Throughout the tour we will be able to admire different views of the volcanoes and drive through some of the villages. We will drive through different off road trails, and we will even take some time to drive on the volcanic sand and lava fields inside of a private plantation.
We DO NOT go to the San Vicente Pacaya National park.

Great adventure!!

5.00ATV Pacaya tour was great! Lots of time spent on the ATV on rough ground, exhilarating! Had a little walk on the volcanic lava rock, our guides Estuardo & Ericson were attentive and friendly, helping with taking photos and digging out hot lava rocks for us!! A great day, highly recommend this tour. Previously we had done the ATV Mountain tour and that also was excellent but more for a novice ATV driver compared to the ATV Pacaya tour so if you’re concerned about driving I recommend you do that one first!

5.00Our guide Diego made it a good fun experience. Good way to explore the area around Pacaya. That said, the traces of hot lava were pretty much all gone when we went.
I am so glad we booked this tour. Beautiful and impressive views, unique experience! Go prepared, amazing full day.
