"A favorite for volcano-trekking beginners and thrill-seekers near Antigua, Pacaya’s trail climbs through lush forest to jagged lava fields where glowing hotspots occasionally peek through—perfect for roasting marshmallows on heated rocks; guides lead the relatively short (2.5 to three hours round trip) ascent, explain the geology, keep you on stable ground, and deliver vivid payoff in scorching earth, volcanic views, and occasional steam bursts." - Hana Al-Khodairi
