Located close to Antigua, Volcán Pacaya, is an active volcano, last erupting on May 27, 2010. While there are trails and hiking opportunities open to the public, this is not a site for the faint of heart and care should be given in the preparation of your visit. If you’ve got your heart set on climbing Volcán Pacaya and seeing the magnificent view it affords, plan on setting aside at least one whole day for your journey – if not more.
