Pacaya Volcano: Sunset Tour Volcan Pacaya
Found a sunset tour of Volcan Pacaya that left from the central park in Antigua Guatemala at 2 PM and returned about 9:00 PM. I'm sure it was the best $7 I have ever spent. Some people brought marshmellows to roast and share.

A nice daytrip you can make from Antigua is a trip to the Volcano Pacaya. This volcano is situated north from the city and it takes about 75 minutes to get there by bus. Pacaya is a nice volcano to visit: it is pretty easy to reach it and the chance you see red-hot lava here is reasonable.

In Antigua you'll see lots of little touragencies who organise trips to the volcano. Normally two options are offered: one trip departing in the morning and one in the late afternoon. Tours will take about 6 hours in total: 2,5 hours for the returntrip by bus, about the same time climbing up and down the last part of the volcano (a pretty tough climb) and the remaining hour can be spent on top of and around the lava in the crater.

The tour is easy, not expensive and pretty exciting. For more information, check out my Pacaya-page...
