Day 2: Antigua, Guatemala
Location: Antigua, Pacaya Volcano
Accommodation Name: hotel
Pacaya Volcano Adventure
Begin your day in Antigua with the eager anticipation of an adventure like no other. As you set off from the city at 14:00 hrs, the drive winds through lush landscapes, offering glimpses of rural Guatemala and the horizon where the volcanoes stand sentinel. Upon arriving at the base of Pacaya Volcano, your journey truly commences. The trail, carved through verdant greenery, quickly transforms into more challenging terrain, leading you up the imposing slopes of the volcano. The ascent takes approximately two hours and is a sensory feast. As you climb, the humble foliage gives way to expansive vistas, revealing vast stretches of volcanic rock, each step bringing you closer to the surreal, otherworldly summit.
Your efforts are rewarded as you step onto the dry lava fields; a landscape so unique, it's akin to treading on the moon. Here, time seems to pause in this breathtaking, eerie beauty. If the volcano is active, you might be graced with the thrilling sight of magma glowing, a spectacle of nature's raw power and a perfect photo opportunity. From this vantage point, marvel at the panoramic views of neighbouring volcanoes such as Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango emerging majestically through the clouds. Their peaks, shrouded partly in mist, create a dramatic backdrop that enhances your sense of being on top of the world.
As you descend leisurely, pay heed to the slipperiness of the trails, a mix of mud and loose volcanic grit sculpted by the winds and rain. Feel the breeze as it carries the scent of sulfur mixed with fresh foliage, providing a tangible reminder of the earth's geothermal forces. This descending path offers moments for reflection on the grandeur of the natural world, your steps echoing the tradition of countless adventurers before you. After returning to the base, invigorated and accomplished, the evening is yours to relax and unwind in the inviting warmth of Antigua. Overnight in Antigua.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Feb 20 2020
We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Jun 25 2019
I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
