Caminhada do Vulcão Pacaya (meio dia)
Descrição
Este passeio oferece uma experiência única e próxima nas encostas de um vulcão ativo! A subida de duas horas certamente o deixará um pouco sem fôlego, mas as vistas valem a pena. Você poderá escalar rochas vulcânicas, assar marshmallows em aberturas de calor e potencialmente ver cinzas e lava em erupção. Para aqueles que procuram uma experiência menos ativa, você pode alugar um cavalo no local com os tratadores de cavalos. (Não somos afiliados aos cavalos). Observe que Pacaya é um vulcão ATIVO e, devido às normas de segurança, você não pode subir até o cume. Pacaya vomita cinzas quentes, rochas e lava, e os viajantes visitam por sua conta e risco. Esta é a escalada de vulcão mais fácil da Guatemala, que o aproxima de um vulcão ativo, no entanto, ainda é uma subida de duas horas. Você deve fornecer seu endereço de retirada no momento da reserva, incluindo o nome do hotel. Por favor, use sapatos fechados, traga proteção contra sol e chuva e traga moeda local para pagar a taxa de entrada (Q100 para estrangeiros)
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Você chegará à base do vulcão Pacaya após uma viagem de 1,5 horas de Antigua. Depois de pagar sua taxa de entrada no Parque Nacional Q100 (traga o troco exato), você inicia a subida de duas horas. Pacaya é um vulcão ativo e você pode ver pequenos fluxos de lava ou ouvi-la expelir algumas cinzas e rochas, no entanto, devido a questões de segurança, você não poderá ir diretamente ao cume, pois Pacaya tem estado mais ativo ultimamente. (Este é um regulamento que seus guias devem cumprir legalmente.) Após um breve intervalo, você descerá a montanha para a viagem de volta a Antígua. Se preferir, pode negociar e alugar um cavalo para subir e/ou descer o vulcão. A caminhada leva aproximadamente duas horas de subida. Por favor, use sapatos fechados, traga proteção contra sol e chuva e, como faz frio em altitudes mais altas, traga um agasalho quente. Você precisará de água engarrafada e talvez um lanche. Retorne a Antígua aproximadamente às 13h para partidas pela manhã e aproximadamente às 20h para partidas à tarde.

Hi there Thank you for booking with us, Any other thing that you might need we are here to help
This was advertised as getting close to pacaya volcano. We were asked to be ready at barehuus hostel by 1:45 pm for 2 pm departure. Unfortunately we were not picked up until 2:45 and didn't leave antigua until 3:15 pm. It was close to 4:20 by the time we got to trailhead. In between our druver stopped by at a place for 15 mins to see if anyone wanted mules though no one was interested. It started getting dark by the time we started hike. So our guide cut short our hike, took us thru a shortcut to get to some location and it was dark by the time we got there. It was impossible to continue without headlamps. Overall it was a very poorly planned hike with emphasis on what additional services they can sell us than giving us full hike experience. Apparently bus, guides are separate entities with their own interests. Due south tours should focus more on quality hike experience than outsourcing everything. None in our group were happy with the way hike was done. I won't recommend this. I am sure pacaya hike would have been great. Just our experience with this operator was terrible.
Hi Bhaska, Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience. This is a shared tour operated by a third party, so everyone who books a shared tour to Pacaya goes on the same bus, no matter what travel agency they booked with. That means the buses can be full, and pickups might take a while if other passengers are not ready or there is traffic leaving town, and during the holiday season, there tends to be a lot more traffic. The provider does not make additional money whether you rent a horse - that service is offered to travelers who may not have the physical fitness level to complete the hike on foot, but is paid directly to the horse handlers who manage the horses. Sunset in December is around 6pm, so I'm not sure why it felt so dark by 420pm - perhaps it was cloudy that day. We will definitely suggest to our travelers to bring a light with them, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback. To avoid the waiting time and 'upsell' you mentioned, we'd recommend a private tour for anyone that reads this and feels it is off-putting. If you're on a tight budget, this is an excellent option.
Nice experience with beautiful views along the way of the three volcanoes of the area (Volcán del Agua, del Fuego and Acatenango). The group was about 24 people with two accompanying guides along the way. The guides were very nice. The ascent path of 3.5 km is done in 1.5h and the descent by the same place in about 1h. The road is simple and well marked. The summit is not reached but you have beautiful views of the crater. Fumaroles may be observed occasionally emerging from the crater. Sometimes you can observe the activity of volcano of Fire that is active. At the top of the volcano, clouds of treats are offered to warm up in the heat of the volcano and eat them. The return journey from Antigua with the bus is made heavy by heavy traffic
Gracias por su reseña! Estamos muy feliz para ver que usted disfruto la subida a Pacaya!
Beautiful people and very wonderful as your guides! I recommend highly to book this group, I can’t wait to do it again.
Thank you for your review!
Had a wonderful time on this hike. The trek up can be challenging if you’re not acclimated to the altitude (take your altitude pills well beforehand if you are used to lower altitudes). Also, don’t be a hero - request a horse if it proves to be too difficult but the views at the top are worth it. They have a wonderful staff and guide. The roasting of the marshmallows in the hot rocks on the way down was a great touch. Highly recommend.
We're thrilled you enjoyed the hike despite the altitude challenges! Thanks for sharing those great tips for future travelers, especially about the horses and marshmallow break. We'll pass along your compliments to our guides. Hope to welcome you back for another adventure!
We hiked during the afternoon tour and it was absolutely amazing!! The guides are so friendly as well! But the views were absolutely stunning! I highly suggest hiking during the afternoon, as you will be able to see the sunset and it is AMAZING!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a great time on the afternoon hike. The sunset views are truly unforgettable, and it’s great to know you enjoyed both the hike and the friendly guides.
Great communication with them before the trip. The bus was on time and driver was reliable. Nice guides also, making sure that everyone was happy and climbing at their own pace. I would recommend it
This trip was great! So much fun to hike the volcano and then roast marshmallows at the end! I would do this again! It was also a lovely drive to see the local culture!
Thanks for letting us know how we did Frankie, and we're glad you had a nice time!
