Pacaya Volcano


Here are some photos from our hike up Volcano Pacaya. We had a wonderful time and it was so beautiful to see the lava flow. Kylee did great the whole hike but Eli was too small to come with us. Next time he can join us:)



Pacaya's current active phase began in 1965, and the volcano has been almost constantly in eruption since then. Eruptive activity ranges from minor gaseous emissions and quiet steam eruptions, to explosions powerful enough to hurl bombs up to 12 kilometers and necessitate the evacuation of numerous villages on the flanks of the volcano.
