Pacaya vulkanvandring (halvdag)
Beskrivning
Denna turné ger en unik upplevelse på nära håll på sluttningarna av en aktiv vulkan! Den två timmar långa klättringen kommer säkert att lämna dig lite andfådd, men utsikten är värd det. Du kommer att kunna klättra över vulkanisk sten, steka marshmallows i värmeventiler och potentiellt se utbrytande aska och lava. För den som letar efter en mindre aktiv upplevelse kan du hyra en häst på plats av hästförarna. (Vi är inte anslutna till hästarna). Observera att Pacaya är en AKTIV vulkan, och på grund av säkerhetsföreskrifter kan du inte gå upp till toppen. Pacaya spyr ut het aska, sten och lava, och resenärer besöker på egen risk. Detta är den enklaste vulkanklättringen i Guatemala som får dig på nära håll med en aktiv vulkan, men det är fortfarande en två timmar lång vandring i uppförsbacke. Du måste ange din hämtningsadress vid bokningstillfället, inklusive hotellnamn. Vänligen bär slutna skor, ta med sol- och regnskydd och ta med lokal valuta för att betala inträdesavgiften (Q100 för utlänningar)
Turalternativ
Resplan
Du kommer till basen av vulkanen Pacaya efter en 1,5 timmes resa från Antigua. Efter att ha betalat inträdesavgiften till Q100 National Park (vänligen ta med exakt växel) börjar du den två timmar långa klättringen. Pacaya är en aktiv vulkan och du kan se korta lavaflöden eller höra henne rapa lite aska och sten, men på grund av säkerhetsproblem kommer du inte att få gå direkt till toppen eftersom Pacaya har varit mer aktiv på sistone. (Detta är en föreskrift som dina guider måste tillämpa lagligt.) Efter en kort paus åker du tillbaka ner för berget för resan tillbaka till Antigua. Om du föredrar det kan du förhandla och hyra en häst för att rida upp och/eller ner för vulkanen. Vandringen tar cirka två timmar uppför. Vänligen bär slutna skor, ta med sol- och regnskydd, och eftersom det är kallt på högre höjder, ta med en varm tröja. Du behöver vatten på flaska och kanske ett mellanmål. Återvänd till Antigua vid cirka 13.00 för morgonavgångar och cirka 20.00 för eftermiddagsavgångar.

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!
