2 Day Mountain Bike Pacaya Volcano and camping
A destined classic – on this route you will get up close with raw, volcanic terrain and Mountain Bike Pacaya Volcano with over 50km of rocky trail riding traversing volcanic flows and beautiful green hills down to the sugar cane plains.
Enjoy two days of mountain bike descent (over 2400m) on rough 4×4 roads crossing volcanic sand and rock on the Active Pacaya Volcano. This itinerary starts at 2400m on neighboring Volcan de Agua and finishes in Escuintla.
For this unique overnight tour we have collaborated with Finca La Escondida, a private ecological reserve and ranch with incredible views located on the southern side of the volcano. A Guatemalan Asado (BBQ) is included as well as tent and camping equipment so you can sleep under the stars.
Pacaya Volcano
Just an hour from Antigua, our Pacaya Volcano MTB adventure takes you high onto the slopes of one of Guatemala’s most famous volcanoes. Rising to 2,552 meters (8,373 ft), Pacaya delivers big-altitude riding with panoramic views across the Guatemalan highlands and out toward neighboring volcanoes.
The trails weave through black lava fields, pine forest, and highland farmland, creating a ride that mixes rugged volcanic terrain with flowing singletrack. With expert guides, vehicle support, and full-suspension rentals, this tour lets you experience Pacaya’s dramatic landscapes entirely by mountain bike—complete with epic vistas and volcanic downhills.
