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.

Pacaya Volcano - Out of the three FANTASTIC ATV tours I booked through Simoon, the Pacaya Volcano was my absolute favorite. From the moment I arrived at the office to check in, every worker was so friendly and welcoming. Simoon's guides are all so professional, they are easy to communicate with and understanding/flexible with each traveler's needs. My favorite part is always driving the ATVs and the guides are very good at explaining how to use them safely. I felt very comfortable zipping around the mountains/volcano despite being a beginner. It was nice too that the guides took high quality pictures of us throughout the tour and sent them to us later that day. Shout-out to Oscar, Ismael, and Pedro! If you're looking for a thrilling and educational activity in Guatemala, you must book a Simoon Tours. It was the best part of my entire trip! My only request is to add more t-shirt sizes to the shop (XS, S, M). I would have loved to bring home a souvenir shirt.
