This hike was exceptional! I was wary about it not being as exciting as the other volcano hikes looked but the views were breathtaking and activities were more than I anticipated. You can see views of volcano fuego erupting in the distance, volcano acatenango and agua. It is moderate intensity with a pretty steady incline but takes about 1-1.5 hours. You get good value for your money . 10/10 would recommend

This was a great experience, but I think it's worth mentioning that the pictures are misleading. Pacaya Volcano used to have live lava flowing a few years ago (and it probably will again soon), but these days it's all barren rock and a few hot air vents--not red glowing lava. If you're hoping to see a live volcano in action, you'll be disappointed. If you just want to go for a cool hike, this is a great option.

I did this hike with my mom, and we had a great time. Really well organized, excellent guide. I am often short of breath after recovering from covid, and my mom is 66, but the hike was totally doable. It’s about an hour of mostly uphill hiking, but our guide stopped every 10 minutes or so to teach us about the history and area and those breaks were great. Beautiful view at the top. No red lava, but it’s still hot enough to roast marshmallows! Great day trip from Antigua. Highlight of our trip!
