Hiking Volcano Pacaya

Pacaya is an active volcano in Guatemala, which first erupted approximately 23,000 years ago and has erupted at least 23 times since the Spanish invasion of Guatemala. Pacaya rises to an elevation of 8,373 ft.  After being dormant for a century, it erupted violently in 1965 and has been erupting continuously since then.

We hiked up the volcano Saturday morning with a guide.  Once near the top, we were able to toast marshmallows!  A fun day for all!

  4. What an amazing hike! Have to put this on the bucket list! I know Erin was very excited to have marshmallow! Those are one of her favorites. She probably wanted to eat them right out of the bag. Unless she is one of the ones that has had some stomach issues. Can't wait to see you all tonight. Love you Erin!!
