★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 930 reviews · 6 hours · from $23Our pick

Hike Pacaya Volcano from Antigua for toasted marshmallows, steam vents, and big views of Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango in about 6 hours.

“Hiking Pacaya was an unforgettable experience. The views, the landscapes, and the energy of the volcano made it truly special. Our guides were fantastic—knowledgeable, patient, and attentive throughout the entire hike. The trail is family-friendly, and we even saw kids hiking, but it does require a basic level of physical fitness. I highly recommend renting a wooden walking stick from the local kids at the entrance—it makes the climb easier and supports the community. If at any point you feel tired, there’s always the option to go up by horse, but it’s really not necessary for most people. The hike is manageable and absolutely worth it. An amazing experience overall.…”

2.Pacaya Volcano Trek

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 798 reviews · 6 hours · from $23

Guided Pacaya Volcano trek from Antigua. Climb through pine forest and ash, roast marshmallows, and chase lava views for about 6 hours.

“Pacaya exceeded my expectations. the ascent was a continuous steep climb with barely any flat surface. All but one person in the group had to ride a horse going up. But the view from the top was definitely amazing. The guide also had some marshmallow he roasted using steam seeping from the ground. Only complaint was that I was picked up 1 hr later than what was advised. And the driver seemed to try to make up for time by driving extremely fast.”

Take an ATV ride around Pacaya Volcano from Antigua, hike petrified lava toward smoky fumaroles, and enjoy Calderas Lagoon views.

“This is another activity that I would consider to be an absolute must if you could only do like two. We had a very large group and it included multiple families with little kids, 20 something’s, and all the way up to an elderly lady who was riding solo - everyone had a good time and nobody was struggling. The team did a great job leading and explaining. Few notes: - you will get very dusty and that volcanic ash will get everywhere, so bring a windbreaker, sunglasses, and even a face mask or a balaclava - we didn’t have it but some people in our group did and I…”

I received a full refund but wasted valuable time that I could have been having breakfast with friends or exploring Antigua. Very frustrating to say the least.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 75 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $138

Morning hike on Volcán de Pacaya from Antigua, with a first-aid guide, lava fields, picnic lunch, and drop-off in about 8 hours.

“Description says easy and family friendly. Instead a really tough ascent and then descent. Luis, our guide, was excellent. Irvin from the park was also good. But at 74, I found it extremely challenging. Luis was excellent about stopping to rest and made a great lunch. The description on your site says hotel pickup and drop off. Old Town Outfitters said had to meet at their shop. Did Viator chat and agent said he confirmed with Old Town Outfitters that hotel pickup included. Stopped at storeday before and was told no hotel pickups. Deceptive description. Also says water provided. Again wrong..outfitters said bring 2 liters of water. Gorgeous scenery but…”

Hike active Pacaya from Antigua, roast marshmallows near the lava, then soak sore legs at Kawilal hot springs with transport included.

“Tuvimos un problema con el tema de la descripción del tour, en la página y el ticket se especificaba que en el precio del tour se incluía la entrada al volcán, sin embargo, al llegar, tuvimos que pagarlo de nuevo, nos gustaría recuperar ese dinero pues al parecer fue un error de esta plataforma. Por lo demás los guías lo hicieron muy bien, el volcán es hermoso y la experiencia de las aguas termales es de primer nivel. Ojalá se responsabilicen por su error y nos reembolsen nuestras entradas al volcán.”

Private Pacaya horseback ride from Antigua with a lava-heat chef. Watch sunset, roast marshmallows, eat lava-cooked pizza, enjoy wine.

“So. Much. Fun! Dave, aka Alaska, was such a treat! He was so knowledgeable about the amazingness of Guatemala and had such great stories to tell about Nikki (the owner of the animal reserve the tour is done through). What their organization is doing is truly inspiring and warmed my heart to hear how well the animals are preserved and cared for. Their work transcends beyond helping tourists see the beauty of Antigua. They are truly changing the lives of so many animals and it’s inspiring. The tour was a blast! And to eat pizza and s’mores made with the lava coals from the volcano?! Come on! And the pizza…”
