Experience one of Guatemala’s most unforgettable adventures on the Epic Pacaya Tour. Begin with convenient hotel or Airbnb pickup in Antigua, followed by a scenic 1.5 hour drive to Pacaya Volcano. Saddle up for a memorable 1 hour horseback ride as you ascend lava trails and volcanic terrain toward breathtaking viewpoints. At the top, watch a local chef cook fresh pizza using the natural heat from the active volcano — a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience. Then roast marshmallows over volcanic vents while taking in sweeping views and vibrant sunset colors across the Guatemalan highlands.
