day 1Antigua, Guatemala

Pacaya Volcano TrekDeparture Time: 14:00
Duration: 8 hrs
Get up close and personal with an active volcano and brag to your friends about it. Hike up the Pacaya Volcano slope fo two hours and then trek onto dry lava that resembles a moon-like landscape. Look up to catch an eruption from the active volcano if you're lucky (depending on the activity of the volcano you may or may not see eruptions or lava). Take unforgettable photos in a landscape so surreal that you feel like you are walking on the moon. Admire the breathtaking landscape and views of neighbouring volcanoes peeking through the clouds around you. Take your time returning to the base of the mountain as you make your way down the slippery, muddy slopes. (Note: Horses can be rented for the trip up and back.)
We recommend wearing comfortable trekking shoes and bringing a flash light and a walking stick (or rent one for a few dollars from local kids before you start your hike). It gets dark and steep on the mountain if you are going up in the afternoon. If you are travelling during rainy season bring a raincoat or poncho... you will definitely need it! Bring bottled water for the trek and some extra cash to buy snacks afterwards or pack a few power bars in your day pack to take with you.

Completely rip-off! Please do not use them until you want to pay huge premium

Complete rip-off! Paid at least 40% extra with worst tours and facilities! Worst company!!! I have been travelling since 15 years and have been to more than 75 countries now but never came across a company like this, who are total rip-off! We booked the self guided central americ tour with them wherein they arranged our transports and tours which costed us almost 40% extra for what we have paid if we would have arranged this by ourselves. I do expect to pay may ne 15 or 20% extra for the booking they do for us but 40%, complete rip off! On the top of that, they create a tour itinerary which doesn't even mention the grade of the tour (in terms of how tough it is, for example a hiking tour) and when we asked to cancel it, they said not possible and they need a notice of 72 hours! We saw tourists here booking and canceling 30 mins in advance without any issues, however an established company who is taking huge premium can't help us with this! Completely shambles! Never use them!!!
