Pacaya Volcano National Park

summit elevation 2552 m 
Complex Volcano

Pacaya is one of the world's most active volcanoes and among the top 3 most active volcanoes in Guatemala and Central America. It is also part of the well known Ring of Fire. It lies approximately 25 km south of Guatemala City and is only a 1.5 hours drive from the Colonial City of Antigua or from Guatemala City. Activity at the volcano consists of strombolian eruptions, ash eruptions, and lava flows.

The Pacaya Volcano may be explored using ground transportation to go hiking on the volcano from Antigua. However, to gain a more interesting perspective we recommend seing both beautiful volcanoes from the air, and doing our Pacaya & Agua Volcanos helitour.
