Additional Information
The Pacaya Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Guatemala, with a height of approximately 2,500 meters above sea level. The environment is made up of wet forests and rocks. It has stunning views of the Calderas Lagoon which we visit from the seat of our ATVs and three other volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. On our unique Adventure we will take ATVs from San Vicente Pacaya to various areas near and around the Pacaya Volcano. We will go on various trails to some of the villages located at the base of the volcano, where we are able to hike up the side of the volcano on top of the petrified lava flow as high as you are able to go. Throughout the tour we will be able to admire different views of the volcanoes and drive through some of the villages. We will drive through different off road trails, and we will even take some time to drive on the volcanic sand and lava fields inside of a private plantation.
We DO NOT go to the San Vicente Pacaya National park.

Best experience - This trip was amazing! It was my first tour ever, and I highly recommend going on this trip. I had never seen lava in real life.

Mad that I haven't tried ATVs sooner - Had such an amazing tour with this company! It was my first time riding an ATV and now I want to do it more and more. Riding an ATV through the lava fields in front of a freaking volcano is an unrivaled experience. Would absolutely do it again!! Take a tour with this company, you won't regret it

Amazing experience even with an 8 year old - Diego and the two other guides were amazing. Kind, funny, and prioritized safety first. They helped my 8 year old walk across the lava field and the sand dunes. It was my first time driving an ATV and they helped us navigate the technical parts. The lunch and snacks provided were delicious and they heated them on the volcanic ovens. Amazing experience even in the rain. Highly recommend!!!!

ATV's the way to go up Pacaya - ATV to Pacaya is the way to go. enjoyed the ATV through the small towns, the farms leading to the petrified lava field, and especially up to the side of Pacaya. our driver and guide Oscar's safety first philosophy was quite re-assuring outside of just being a cool and informative guide. a memorable experience.

Great excursion - It was a fun memorable trip and i enjoyed every aspect. Thank you for the clear instructions on how to drive the quads. I’m not sure where the marshmallow roasting area was but that would have been a fun addition

Great tour all around. - Gio was fantastic. He gave tips for handling the terrain and was very informative about the volcano, history and just interesting facts. Lunch was great and warming it in the lava oven was a treat!
