The Road Less Traveled
“As the sun began its descent over the picturesque city of Antigua, we embarked on our journey to Volcan Pacaya, an expedition that promised to immerse us in the primal beauty of the Earth. A two-hour drive from Antigua brought us to the foothills of this mighty volcano, where our adventure would truly begin. The winding roads led us through lush coffee plantations and charming villages, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of the Guatemalan people.
Our journey led us to the quaint village of San Francisco de Sales, nestled at the base of Volcán Pacaya. This humble settlement is a testament to the resilience of the local community. The residents live in harmony with the ever-present volcanic activity, coexisting with the natural forces that have shaped their lives for generations. As we explored the village, the warm smiles and friendly waves of the locals made us feel truly welcome.
Volcán Pacaya has become a hub for eco-tourism, and for good reason. Our adventure began with a meeting at the local eco-tourism office, where we were introduced to our knowledgeable guide, Carlos. His passion for the volcano and the environment was evident from the very start. With every step we took, Carlos educated us about the significance of responsible tourism and the importance of preserving this unique ecosystem for future generations.”
