The Highlands, Guatemala
Rising to an altitude of 8,371 feet, the Pacaya volcano, part of the Pacaya National Park, has been continually active since 1965. The hike to its summit follows a pleasant trail with rest areas, direction signs and rubbish bins along the way and whilst not the most strenuous of climbs, you should be in decent shape and prepared for the elevation.
One of the biggest thrills to climbing Pacaya, besides the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, is the chance you will have to gaze inside its cone. You can hike the volcano by yourself, but for safety reasons it is a good idea to use a guide.
