This is a one in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide Elvin (Mono) was amazing, knowledgeable and professional, funny and always attentive to our safety. 10/10 recommended Keila y Carlos🇵🇷

Volcano half day trip.

It was a moderately hard climb but suitable for anyone reasonably fit. Horses can be hired if anyone finds it difficult. The top was cloudy but we got wonderful views of the land below on the way down. Crossing the lava field and roasting marshmallows was fun.

Come to Guatemala

Excellent hike, but better to pay for the horses, they and their handlers earn their salary. Fantastic view of volcanoes, lush vegetation

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.
