Amazing hike!
This was an amazing hike! Very intense in the beginning since it's a steep climb, but the views (and the marshmallows) are worth it! Our guide Ervin was great, very knowledgeable and funny too.
PSA: The road to the volcano is pretty winding, so if you get motion sickness easily I'd recommend using a scopolamine patch or taking some Dramamine before.

I loved this entire...
I loved this entire experience. I thought I was physically in shape but definitely felt the burn when we started the hike up to the volcano. I’m not prideful and opted for a horse on the way up and it was the most breathtaking experience I’ve ever done. Definitely recommend.

This was a fantastic...
This was a fantastic experience! The pizza tasted very good and felt satisfying after a hard trek. Fausto was a sweet and accommodating tour guide.

Good experience
Great adventure. The location is good. The tour guide and taxi driver were both very helpful. They helped hire horse for me. And made marshmallow!
I am rating 4 instead of 5 because of communication issue at pickup. I ended up waiting for 30 min at 6am before I was picked up. And the guide though super nice, knew very limited English.

Challenging, but worth the effort.
As two 70 year old hikers not used to mountain terrain we found the hike up Pacaya to be medium difficulty. There were plenty of opportunities to set your own pace. Our guide was great. Horses were available, if needed. Hiking to volcano peak is not allowed, but views from to highest point allowed were amazing.

Scenic. Beatiful. Fun!
Incredible views of pacaya volcano. It was easy to book and set up the pick up location. A great value and a must do.

A good walk
This was a good excursion. A 2.5km hike with 300 m elevation change. A gift shop and pizza or marshmallows cooked on the hardened lava. Quicker coming down than going up. Our tour guide, Davis, was outstanding and would do an excursion with him again.

Volcano Hike
Amazing hike but you need to be in good hiking condition. If you’re not then you can still do the adventure on a horse for an extra charge. Got a great view of volcano eruption in the distance.

Fun half day hike
We had a wonderful time on the half-day guided hike on Pacaya. Our driver was excellent, as was our guide Ervin. The hike was strenuous but doable, and horses were available for anyone that needed/wanted them (at an extra cost). We enjoyed learning about the eruption that occurred a few years ago and how it changed the landscape, as well as about some of the native plants and animals in the area.

This hike was definitely...
This hike was definitely harder than we anticipated, mostly due to high altitude (we come from Georgia). My wife and I didn't make it far up the mountain before we had to hire a horse to taxi us the rest of the way ($45 USD, not GTQ). Our tour guide kept up with us the whole time and made sure we were okay, teaching us about the volcanic history. Views were incredible. We even got to roast marshmallows at the volcano! Be sure to prepare for cold, windy weather at the top. Great experience!

Super great hike—best horse ride!
The uphill climb was a bit hard but I’m 68. So I got a ride up the volcano on Chocolate, the horse. A very gentle horse. Once on top the view was amazing. Walking down the other side was easy. And the lunch waiting for us was great. The guides were so friendly and informative. I highly recommend going with a tour so you get the story.
