Terrified tourists were seen scrambling for cover as they were pelted with lava from an exploding volcano in Guatemala.

Hikers tried to avoid being struck by chunks of burning rocks after Volcán de Fuego erupted — and the blast sent plumes of smoke billowing into the air.

“Oh my God, holy s–t,” one hiker yelled in a video shared by AccuWeather Friday. “Run! Run!” she said as the noise reverberated.

The hiker frantically darted to safety as chunks of rocks began to rain down, while one tourist scooped up a dog, bringing it to safety, according to local media reports cited by NeedtoKnow.
