El majestuoso volcán Pacaya 

A column of volcanic peaks runs along the pacaya volcano, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Some of them are still active, spewing smoke and flames into the night sky. There are many hiking trails that take you along these peaks. In this Guatemala hiking guide, we will recommend some of our favorite volcanoes to hike, as well as give you more information about the dramatically named Ring of Fire.

The ring of fire

If climbing high is your goal, test yourself with an ascent of Mount Cotopaxi, Ecuador’s highest volcano (5,897 m) when conditions permit. The Ring of Fire also runs through Nicaragua, leaving behind a string of active volcanoes, freshwater lakes and lava-filled craters.

Walkin the Pacaya volcano

Although the walk is relatively short, the trail is steep, and the high altitude means it’s not a bad idea to stop frequently for breaks. There’s a few snack stands along the route, selling the likes of like naranja con pepito (oranges with ground pumpkin seeds). The view from the top is spectacular, taking in the nearby summits of fiery Fuego and Acatenango.
