Being on Volcán Fuego as it erupted was one of the coolest adventures of my entire life! It was unreal to be up above the clouds, we eventually found ourselves in a cloud blocking the view of the eruptions and headed back to base camp so we could reach it before dark. #adventure #guatemala #solotravel #volcano #go4thelgobe

Pacaya Volcano, Guatemala
Sunset from the side of the volcano Pacaya.
20 feet from flowing lava just may be the top experience of my life. If you are in Guatemala and whether you consider yourself a hiker or not, climbing Pacaya is a must. I would even consider going multiple times because the mountain changes on a daily basis (even second by second). Where you hike one day may be covered by lava flows then next day and you'd have to take a completely different route. Try looking in a crater if allowable on that day,
