Volcano Rush Helicopter Hike Guatemala 

Where Fire Meets Flight. Welcome to Volcano Rush an unforgettable 7 day expedition through Guatemala’s most explosive landscapes, blending volcanic treks, lakeside charm, and luxury helicopter transport into one adrenaline-fueled journey.

​

From the ancient mysteries of Mayan culture to the raw power of erupting volcanoes. You’ll hike the towering peaks of San Pedro and Acatenango, fly high above lava fields on a scenic helicopter transfer, and relax in style with boutique stays and curated experiences along the way.
