We hiked Volcan Pacaya just to the southeast of Antigua on December 27 while Mike was still here. Unfortunately no lava, but it is an active volcano! We roasted marshmallows in natural little “ovens” which was a neat experience! Someone had recommended that we bring a frying pan and some eggs but we had forgotten! It was cloudy for much of the hike but it did clear up when we got to the top. From the top we got good views of Guatemala City and you could see a part of Antigua hiding north of the towering Volcan Agua!
It was a pretty easy hike and the inside of the crater was a neat place with roasting the marshmallows and taking turns sitting in a natural “sauna” which was really steaming hot! The “sauna” was the perfect size to lie in!
