I am very interested in the volcano climbing activity and would like to plan it over three days. I will be traveling with my husband and our six-year-old daughter, and I would like to confirm if she would be allowed to participate.

She is very accustomed to group activities, climbing, walking, and handling extreme conditions. I can confidently assure you that she would neither slow down the group nor inconvenience anyone.

Itinerary

Day 1
Antigua to Pacaya Volcano
You'll head out from Antigua either early morning or in the afternoon for a trek to Pacaya Volcano Peak near San Vicente.

Once you're up there, you'll see flowing lava and have the chance to roast marshmallows over the heated rocks, plus plenty of time for photos. After taking everything in, you'll make your way back down and return to Antigua by evening.

This tour was amazing! Olivia and Daniel from Marvelous Travel were always available to answer questions. All the private drivers, shared shuttles and private boat captains were on time and courteous. The tour guides for the boat tour and volcano both spoke English which was helpful. The highlight of the trip was the Mayan Family Stay. My daughter and I were fortunate to stay with Daniel's wonderful wife and children. They made us feel so welcomed. We ate authentic Guatemala food which was delicious and his daughter taught us to make fresh tortillas while we were wearing their native dresses.
