Antigua and Volcan Pacaya

After passing through Antigua multiple times to change shuttles and to climb Volcan Agua, I finally got to spend some time there this weekend.  









One of the great things about living in Guatemala is the close proximity to a lot of fun weekend trips.  Sunday morning was a perfect example, we were able to hike Volcan Pacaya in the morning and make it back to the city by mid-day.  Pacaya is an active volcano.  There isn’t any lava flows or smoke (like on near-by Fuego), but there are hot vents and caves and the most recent big eruption was in 2010.
