Pacaya volcano outside Guatemala City is producing lava flows of over 2,300 metres.

The flows are slowly reaching the surrounding farmland.

But David Garcia, a local accountant, saw the business potential in this hazardous situation.

He's spending his time developing a second career as a volcanic pizza chef.

He's using the lava flows to cook his special pizzas.

But Garcia's kitchen presents certain risks.

Pacaya is blowing out burning ash, which is carried by the wind.

In March, Guatemala City airport 25 kilometres away was covered in ash and had to close.

Volcanic activity has now reduced, which has allowed tourist visits to restart and the kitchen reopen.

With protective clothes as a precaution, Garcia is baking with his special pizza pans again.

Garcia's fame has spread through social media.

The kitchen has become another attraction for Pacaya sightseers.

His volcanic pizza is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
