  Amazing experience. We took the can am tour to the volcano. Guide was nice, the owner david was very friendly and helpful and even gave us a present before we left, am amazing coffee from volcanic land in Guatemala. It wasn't cheap but was worth it. The pizza was delicious and eating it on a volcanic rock in front of the peak was beautiful.

• Review: Pacaya Volcano Vistas + Pizza Experience

  Pacaya Volcano was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Hiking an active volcano and eating pizza cooked on volcanic heat is something you just don’t get to say every day. That said, the experience would have been much better if it hadn’t been so dangerously windy. The wind made the hike more intense than expected and honestly took away from the enjoyment a bit. For $330, I truly believe the horse should be included in the price. It felt like an additional expense that should have already been covered at that rate. I personally don’t feel the overall experience matched the cost. The pizza was decent, but no drink was included, which was a little surprising for that price point. Now let me say this clearly: my guide was the best part of the entire experience. He helped me up and down the mountain, constantly checked to make sure I was okay, and took as many photos as I wanted without hesitation. His professionalism and support made a huge difference. Would I do it again? Probably not for that price. But am I glad I did it? Yes. You only live once.

  There was no prior communication however they were great on pick-up location and time. Driver was super friendly, same as our tour guide! He brought marshmallows for us on top of the pizza. It’s expensive but also was amazing.

• Too expensive: Find a Pacaya hike tour and pay for pizza separately (which is cooked on coals)

  First thing for you to know, there are no longer any vents on Pacaya (at least that the guide knew of) hot enough to cook pizza or roast marshmallows. They have all been cooling down since the 2021 eruption. So don't do this hike just for the Pizza / marshmallow cooking. The pizza was fine and cooked over coals in a volcano rock oven. But the maker of the pizza is stationed up there and I am sure they would be happy to make anyone a pizza who wants one, you don't need to book it as part of your tour. The hike is quite easy, mostly walking on a dirt/gravel road. My guide said it usually takes 60 - 90 minutes. We made it up in 35 minutes, though we moved fast and took some shortcuts. My guide was good, but the whole volcano experience only took 90 minutes (probably less). I spent far more time in traffic getting to/from Pacaya than on Pacaya. The hike is still worth doing, there are some nice views and you can see Fuego erupting smoke every so often. Just have appropriate expectations, find a cheaper tour, and pay for your pizza yourself.

  There was no communication before the tour (I always get info into TA chat), despite the tour started precisely at and as it had to! Good organization! We had a great time together with Walter! We did not just walked in the nature, but exchanged knowledge of our countries and compared them. It was a highlight for me to ride a young horse on the way to the volcano. Do similarly (regardless if your body is strong enough or not), you won't regret it, if you like animals too. At least to ride for some minutes. I did it all the way and it was so special to ride here, at a volcanic terrain. I have to mention, everyone we met, including the boy who owns the horse, the souvenier shop owner and the pizza cook, all were very respectful and kind people! The way back was much easier, with a few scenic spots. There is truly a lot of photo opportunity, at least 5-10. Big mountains, clouds, volcanic rocks, horses... About the pizza - I think it really made a difference how and where it was made. It was perfectly made and still smokey a bit... Very tasty, for sure in the top3, however I'm Italian cousine lover... Yes, I chose this tour because of the nature, volcanos, pizza and horses (and dogs). All-in! Note: it is a great choice for those who have limited time and also for individual travelers. All is very well accommodated to the schedule and all. And still, the only participant may neither feel any rush. We can spend enough time at the 'pizza place', which is truly the weird but coolest highlight of the tour.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Eating pizza on a volcano!!!

  🌋 Unforgettable Pacaya Volcano Experience – Highly Recommend! Hiking Pacaya Volcano was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip to Guatemala! The views were absolutely breathtaking imagine standing on fresh lava rock, with clouds rolling around you and glimpses of active volcanic steam rising in the distance. It felt surreal. Huge shoutout to David, our incredible guide! He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole journey feel fun and safe. He shared so much history about the volcano, local stories, and even helped us get the perfect photos. And let’s talk about the pizza yes, pizza on a volcano! There’s a local legend who bakes fresh pizza using the heat from the volcanic rock. Watching him cook it right on the lava was something I’ll never forget and it tasted AMAZING. This tour was the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. If you’re visiting Guatemala, DO NOT skip Pacaya and if you get David as your guide and the pizza master working his magic, you’re in for a real treat! 🔥🌄🍕 #PacayaVolcano #GuatemalaAdventures #PizzaOnAVolcano
