9.From Guatemala City or Antigua: Pacaya Volcano Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 89 reviews · 6 hours · from $96

Review of the Pacaya Volcano day tour from Antigua or Guatemala City, with hiking, horse options, lava views, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The trip was fantastic! The drive provided us with a glimpse of other active volcanos and the surroundings. Once we arrived to Pacaya, we were greeted by staff and able to trek for approximately two hours. The hike was moderately challenging due to the previous days of rain making the terrain more loose and slippery. We were able to roast marshmallows over the hot spots of the volcanic rock. This tour provided an insight to Guatemala’s natural beauty, with some physical activity and excitement once you reach the apex. Wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 70 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $65

Review of the Pacaya Volcano and Kawilal Hot Springs tour from Antigua, with hike details, costs, guides, lunch, logistics, and practical tips.

“We booked a tour from Antigua and for our surprise after the tour ended, we were taken to Guatemala City to drop some members of the group. At the end of the tour I checked, and we were 30 min from Antigua and the detour took us 3 hours in heavy traffic to and from Guatemala City. When we call to complain they told us that the tours was a shared trip for both cities but nowhere in the detail description of the tour this is indicated. There is no reason, only to save cost, to have us in a bus for 3 hours after a full day of travel”

Review of the Pacaya Volcano shared hike from Guatemala City, with guide quality, trail effort, horse rentals, hot springs, costs, and practical tips.

“First let me say that the review is not five stars but that does not mean that it was not all that bad. David, the guide the signed to take me up the volcano was a very kind and helpful man. I told him at the beginning that I wanted to practice and improve my Spanish and he took time to help me with every single sentence. I've never had anyone help me that much I was very appreciative. He took the time to point out many things along the path, provide me history and interesting details throughout the trip. He took his time or went fast depending on how…”
