アンティグアからのパカヤ火山午前ツアー

Vinnie was an incredible guide and ensured that we had an awesome experience! The hike was moderately challenging, but Vinnie provided photos ops and breaks. We booked the optional extension to the thermal spa after the hike, and that was great too, especially the 30 minute massage after a morning of hiking! Highly recommend!

While the volcano was cool to see, I wouldn’t book it with this operator. We got driven from Antigua to the volcano and the driver may have literally been the worst driver I’ve ever had. He would slam on the gas and slam on the brake repeatedly, pass around somewhat blind corners, etc. the fact he is hired as a driver is almost comical. Then, when there, our guide passed us off to a local guide. So our guide from this company went to setup lunch while the local guide took us up the volcano. The roasting marshmallows is a gimmick: you can have slightly warmed marshmallows, nothing close to roasted. The lunch we had afterwards was nice, but you’re paying a huge premium for it. Seeing Pacaya was very cool but I would book with the least expensive operator as the tours are all pretty much the same (unless you want to have an overpriced picnic lunch).

The uphill climb was a bit hard but I’m 68. So I got a ride up the volcano on Chocolate, the horse. A very gentle horse. Once on top the view was amazing. Walking down the other side was easy. And the lunch waiting for us was great. The guides were so friendly and informative. I highly recommend going with a tour so you get the story.

This hike was fantastic, our guide David was great, he gave us information on the volcanoes as we hiked and was very knowledgeable. The hike is challenging but most of the way up is shaded and we didn't feel rushed and could stop whenever needed, the way down was pretty much direct sun however the decline made that much easier- bring a hat! I chose this tour as opposed to others as lunch was offered so we didn't have to worry about packing something ourselves. Was very nice to have a picnic with a view of the volcanoes!

Great views and after about 2.5 km you arrive at the lava area which is spectacular from there you see the super close colossus emanating some gases and steam and then you go down doing a total of just under 6 km in total walking. It's worth a lot.

I highly recommend this tour. Our driver Lester got us there and was fantastic. Melvin was Our guide up and was amazing. Picture perfect day with roasted marshmallows and a picnic lunch. The whole day was stress free for us. They thought of everything.

A most beautiful and a bit challenging hike (for me) but totally worth the effort. Francisco was an excellent guide and chef. He helped us understand the volcanoes of Guatemala and prepared a colorful spread of food for lunch. This activity is highly recommended.

Great hike. The route we took was mostly shaded until we reached the final point of the hikes. Beautiful views, well maintained trails. Very nice to see the terrain transition from lush green with all kinds of trees to the barren land with volcanic rocks and no vegetation near the end of hike. Our guides Christa and Heidi were excellent. They prepared fresh lunch at top for our group- tostadas; that was a real treat. I would highly recommend this tour.

Not for the faint of heart but definitely a must do experience. Getting to theophylline of the trail can be difficult especially if you like me are not an experienced hiker. But worth it at the end. There is also the option to rent a horse to take you up. So I would budget an extra 80-100 USD in case you cannot manage the 2-3 hour hike each way. Going down as you may imagine is definitely easier than going up. Make sure to pack a raincoat, sweater and hiking boots. Our guides Rudy and David did their best to take a slow pace but it was still quite challenging. Would not recommend for small children, pregnant women or people who have limited mobility.

lA very nice, rewarding hike. Nothing too challenging but still nice to do. The views were really beautiful and the volcano was so fascinating. Our guide Vini was super knowledgeable and passionate about his job!! Had great conversations and he was all around a great guide - great chef as well! Thanks again, will definitely be back for another hike with Vini!
