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.

I had an incredible time...

5.00I had an incredible time on the ATV tour! Even though I was the only person signed up that day, the tour company didn't cancel (thank you!) so I essentially had a private tour! Sergio, the guide, was super kind and helpful, making sure I felt comfortable driving the ATV and checking in throughout. His knowledge of the region and enthusiasm made the trip really special AND he took some amazing photos! This is a must-do activity that I would recommend to anyone coming to Antigua
Lo Pasamos Muy Bien!

5.00Driving the ATVs is actually easier than we expected and there is very little walking. The group travels together so depending on how fast everything is done depends on how long the excursion will be. We highly recommend this unique experience. Bring a swim suit and sunscreen!
