What To Expect
Pacaya Volcano
Start your hiking adventure with a pickup right from your Antigua hotel, and share a ride with your small group to the meeting location with the local guide in Pacaya Volcano National Park, which is an hour and fifteen minutes drive. Take a couple of minutes to use the restroom and stretch your legs at the park entrance to get ready, then set off on foot or by horseback (extra fee) with your local guide. Take the picturesque path along the mountain slopes and pause to appreciate the scenery before arriving at the elevated plateau that overlooks the volcanic crater. Visit the lava store for buying some gifts, take some time exploring the plateau, taking pictures, eating pizza (extra charge) and roasting marshmallows over the heat vents scattered across the lava field before starting the journey down to the park entrance for your ride back to Antigua

5.00Bayron provided thee best tour , pick up was ontime , he allowed us to stop and get local food , very professional. 10/10 recommend . He interacted with us the entire drive to Pacaya and gave us history on the different places that we passed . He has a very calm demeanor. We were so pleased with this tour that we ended up booking him for 3 more excursions while in Antigua , We even used him for our return to the airport . Bayron was fluent in English, this was a huge plus for us as we spoke minimal to no Spanish . Book with Bayron I promise he won’t disappoint. Thanks again Bayron for making my Birthday trip so amazing . 🇯🇲
