Great Pacaya Volcano tour with a ton of exercise!

David_B, Dec 2022

IMHO the best tour out of Puerto Quetzal you can do. Many people on our cruise ship took 1.5 hour one-way bus rides also (like most everything destination from this port) but no one had an adventure we did and can say they visited an active volcano! Santos was our private tour guide and driver. He was great...flexible, fast, and made the trip interesting. When we got to Pacaya Claudio was our expert volcano guide. He was informative and gave us a different perspective on the land. There tour is fairly physically demanding and not for everyone (unless you pay to ride horses up the mountain). Half way up the trek you have a decision to make... The left path is easier and you go higher up on Pacaya (we did this one - 22K steps and 200 floors of height). The other is more challenging and steep in some spots but you end up on the lava field and can roast marshmallows over hot air vents. The entire trip should take from 2-3 hours but could be 3-4 if you move at a slower pace. Either way it's awesome with great views of Guatemala City, the thermal power plant, and the 2 other volcanos in the central area (Fuego and Agua). 100% worth it!!!
