This was so fun! We were...

PATRICIA_B, Apr 2024

This was so fun! We were with a small group. The horses were well trained and accompanied by their caballeros. A pizza dinner was tasty too! My only disappointment was that we didn't get a great view of the volcanoes because the cloud cover didn't cooperate. Of note, the owners have non-profit horse clinic that just opened to help keep the horses in much of Guatemala healthy.

Great bucket list day

Krista_P, Apr 2024

We absolutely loved our ride. Lori was an incredible guide from start to finish, offering mint candies during the windy drive, recommendations for local activities elsewhere in Antigua, info about the towns we drove through and introductions to our guides. The trip up the volcano was mellow, the pizza at the top was great, and the cute individual snores kits really made the children smile. It was very foggy on our day but that just made it a different type of experience. Would highly recommend.

One of a kind experience!

Nhat_T, Mar 2024

This was truly a one of a kind experience! I highly recommend doing this specific tour as it’s cheaper for solo travelers than the one where you have to hike the trail yourself and all proceeds go to supporting a great cause to help the local community. Niki was super helpful in helping me secure a solo spot with a group despite the tour requiring at least two people. Lori, our tour guide, was also amazing and gave us ton of great recommendations for the rest of our trip. She even helped me arrange a ride back to Guatemala City from Antigua at a cheaper cost than Uber as I was worried there wouldn’t be Uber available at night in Antigua. The horses were so gentle, despite the trail being a little bit rocky, and the local cowboy was great in leading the horses so that you can take in the scenery or take pictures. The pizza was also really delicious and it’s so cool to be able to say it was cooked on lava rocks!

Great time

Went with my 5 year old daughter, and we had an absolute blast! Communication was great from start to finish, Lori and the cowboys were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The only issue is that my daughter fell in love with the horse “Princess”, and she can’t take her home.

A Magical Volcano Adventure

Yasmin_S, Jan 2024

Our horseback ride to Pacaya Volcano was a highlight of my travels in Guatemala. The ascent on well-trained horses offered breathtaking views and a thrilling experience. At the summit, the unique opportunity to eat pizza cooked over geothermal heat was both delightful and delicious. The presence of friendly local dogs and the descent under moonlight added to the charm and adventure of the tour. What’s more, knowing that the tour supports local communities made the experience even more rewarding. In summary, this isn’t just a tour; it’s a memorable adventure that combines natural beauty, culinary fun, and a touch of magic. A must-do for anyone visiting Guatemala!
