Cost for each tour depends on how many are traveling, departure from Antigua or Guatemala City, etc. You can mix and match activities as well. Many activities are great for families.

GROUP OR PRIVATE TOURS - flexible itineraries:

Available every day "Niños con Bendicion"

1-2 hours. This is a new excursion which can be done alone or combined with other activities in the area. This program was designed to generate funds for the children to stay in school while also maintaining their cultural roots. The dance group is made up of 17 children ages 5-13 yrs. from some of the poorest families in the village. The children present a few of the local / native (short) dances involving the crop planting and corn harvest. A small snack (safe to eat) is presented after the dances. This is an excellent opportunity to see local culture in a "typical" home - try weaving, grinding corn and get a taste of daily life - as you interact directly with the children. FAMILIES WELCOME. Extra time for kids of all ages to play and share is encouraged after the presentation. Opportunity to shop for textiles and home made crafts. Proceeds from all sales go directly into the education fund. VERY INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE. http://www.folkloricoguatemalteco.com/ ~ Contact Us

PACAYA VOLCANO IS AN ACTIVE VOLCANO LOCATED @ 1.5 HOURS FROM ANTIGUA. 2 HOUR HIKE UP TO THE TOP.
NEED GOOD/STURDY SHOES !
Pacaya, at a height of 8160 feet, is one of the smaller volcanoes of the country but certainly one of the most impressive. Set in its own National Park, Pacaya is a storybook volcano with a continuous plume of smoke drifting from its summit and a massive lava flow reforming the valley at the base of the cone. The group meets in Antigua at 8am for a morning hike. Before departure you can use the restroom and fill up your water bottles. It is just over a one hour drive in our private transport from Antigua to the park office and trail head, where we purchase your entrance to the park (included).

At that point your guide will gather information and decide on the best trail to approach the always changing Pacaya. With any luck the trail will lead to the active lava flows near the summit but at the very least the group will traverse lava flows that are just a few years old and experience the hot spots in the volcanoes crater. On the way down a picnic style meal is prepared by your guide (included) and served with the views of volcanoes Agua, Fuego and Acatenango as your table centerpiece !
From the base we load back up in our vehicle and return to Antigua usually between 3-5pm for the day hike.
Included in Trip Price:
* Round trip transportation from Antigua
* Entrance fees
* Picnic lunch
* Fully guided tour
* Bilingual guide - Guide is trained in 1st aid and carries a kit on him at all times.
* Flashlight (for evening departures)

Closed toed shoes / Day pack (with rain cover if rainy season) / One warm layer or windbreaker / Toiletries or medications / Camera / Hat Sunglasses / Sunscreen / 2 liters of water. $50. p/p - need to check for availability and volcanic activity.
