Climb Acatenango from Antigua, sleep in a basic dome camp, watch Fuego erupt, and catch sunrise above the clouds on this demanding budget trek.

“The experience was amazing!! I have some background in hiking but I’m not a crazy hiker and there were people in the group who were hiking for the first time! So if you’re unsure whether you’re able to do it, as long as you’re in okay shape and down for a good challenge it’s totally doable! The hardest part was the sunrise walk since it included a very steep uphill climb and was freezing and windy at the top (so much so that I couldn’t enjoy the view as much) but that part is optional.

“This definetly is a hiking adventure. Maybe the best view I've ever seen. The location of the basecamp was amazing! The size of the group was also perfect. About 13 of us, which was small enough to feel like a team and big enough to meet new people from around the world. The guide was super kind! His effort is truly admirable, and as an English speaker you felt safe and included. This is a once in a lifetime thing, and a memory for life. The hike is hard, no mistake.

Review of the two-day Acatenango Volcano hike from Antigua, covering the climb, camping, cost, gear, guides, food, group size, and practical tips.

“Meeting point on Viator is wrong, and it nearly caused me to miss the tour. I had to contact them and rush to the office in a hurry. Unpleasant start. Tour is fine, just don’t expect anything to be comfortable, everyone comes for the view but everyone in the team made it alright. It’s a once in a lifetime experience so just do it.”

“The activity was good but the worth of money spent was a disappointment. People whom I shared a tent with have paid 2 times less for the experience than I did because they broke it at the hotel not online. I have said 125$ for the same experience they paid 65$.”

Review the two-day Acatenango hike from Antigua, with summit views, Fuego eruptions, camping, meals, gear advice, and honest costs.

“This was probably the most challenging thing I have done but also the most incredible experience I have ever had! Just a word of advice to take the following: wet wipes, tissues, head lamp (or torch) for early morning summit, hiking poles (they make such a difference) and obliviously warm clothing (it gets freezing at night).”
