Antigua Guatemala Night and Volcano: Bars, Rooftops, and Eruptions

descriptionDescription

Five concentrated days that get better as night falls. Antigua Guatemala combines colonial elegance with a vibrant nightlife scene: rooftops overlooking the erupting Fuego Volcano, mezcal and rum bars in colonial ruins, underground clubs in 18th-century warehouses, and backpacker parties that start at 11 p.m. By day, you recover with a late lunch at specialty coffee shops, afternoon hikes to Pacaya Volcano to arrive at sunset when the lava glows, and exploring craft markets. On Thursdays there's a party on the Café No Se rooftops with DJs, Fridays it's Las Vibras nightclub on Calle del Arco, Saturdays it's El Mono Loco's underground bar with trivia and karaoke. The combination of volcanic heat and Zacapa rum is explosive.
