The Pacaya Volcano hike was a fantastic family experience! The guides were wonderful, keeping the hike fun and engaging for everyone, including the kids. Making pizza at the lava fields was a unique highlight that the whole family loved. I never thought I would be baking my pizza using the heat from an active volcano, but that’s exactly what we did! It’s something we’ll never forget. Highly recommended for a memorable day out with children!
