Pacaya Volcano is one of Guatemala’s many active volcanoes – sometimes you might just see steam, while other days you might see lava spewing from the caldera. This overnight hike lets you watch the sunrise over the volcanoes. From the summit, you’ll have a tremendous view of the surroundings, including Acatenango Volcano and Fuego Volcano in the distance.

Day 1

2:30 PM – Pickup from your hotel in Antigua or Guatemala City.

Spend 2.5 hours hiking to the campsite, carrying your sleeping bag with you. The trails here lead through cornfields and old lava flows. You’ll also come to a vista that offers a spectacular view of Guatemala City. Your guide will show you to a camp dinner, and then you’ll spend the night in a tent.

Day 2

At sunrise, you’ll walk along the perimeter for extraordinary views. Then, you’ll head back to camp for breakfast. Next, you’ll break down the camp and roll up your sleeping bag.

Finally, you’ll hike down the mountain and return to the camp at 1:00 PM.
