“The guides are great and quite funny (Christian & Francisco). They speak English or Spanish. We were a small group of 12 people with 2 guides so that faster people could go in their pace but slower people also had a guide. There were regular stops where we waited for the whole group. Until the lunch break you can also buy some drinks or snacks from little huts on the way. The basecamp is higher than other camps and has a spectacular view on Fuego. The huts are basic but protect from the nasty winds. Given the group size of 12 we shared a Hut with 4. If your group…”

“We were supposed to leave at 8.45am from Antigua but left at 9.40am. We started the hike around 11.30 which is way too late. Those who wanted to do the extra Fuego part this schedule was really complicated since there was no resting time between the first hike and Fuego. We had a shared cabin for 12 people with a window so you can watch Fuego from your bed. They served pasta with tomato sauce for dinner and oatmeal with banana for breakfast. There was hot chocolate too. Take snacks, hand sanitizer, wipes and toiletpaper! Don’t forget a headlamp.”

“Terrible experience, from the beginning they had over 50 people scrambling in the morning and our group was about 30 when advertised said no more than 15ppl, they advertised hats and jackets which were all gone and we asked but never received so we were cold most the trek,, Our guides barely spoke to us the whole trek, didn’t learn anything at all was only hurried along even when trying to take photos of the erupting volcano. They promised we would summit in the morning only to be told that we couldn’t the weather was perfect, we were never told anything over half the group wanted to summit only to…”

“Amazing experience. Hike was a bit challenging which I loved. Hiking shoes a must! Surprisingly it was very cold and very windy at the top, so pack a hoodie at least. Also pack a protein bar and water. Horses were available for those who couldn't trek it. Tour guide was very nice and informative. Highly recommend for adventure seekers who do not want to do the overnight hike 👌🏻.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 70 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $65

Start at Gray Line’s Antigua office at 7:30 a.m. for a guided Pacaya hike, often led by local guides such as Claudio, Lydia, or Rodolfo. Expect loose volcanic rock, optional horses, lava views when conditions allow, and a relaxing visit to Kawilal Hot Springs with lunch if your package includes it.

“This was a great tour all around. It was extremely well organized and definitely worth the value. Our van picked us up on time and we proceeded to the volcano. The roads are a bit windy going up - a note for those who get carsick. It was no fault of the driver's, just the nature of the path to the trailhead. Once you arrive, rent a walking stick from a person at the base. It will cost 5Q and is definitely worth it, especially during the steep incline at the beginning. There are folks who will try to rent you a horse they call them taxis, ha to ride…”
