It was a challenging hike. 7 kms up and 7 more down. 5-6 hrs up with probably only 30 flat while the rest was high slope hike. Besides that, it’s a warranty that you will have an amazing view and experience. I didn’t do it, but you can get really close (like 500 ft probably) from an active volcano. Lava was saw from distance.

The hike is incredible, and the guides excellent. The views from Acatenango are spectacular, the sunrise from the top beautiful, and the different biomes on the way up fascinating. The provided food is delicious and nutritious. The camp is at high elevation and it's cold! The provided sleeping bags and huts aren't enough to keep you warm at night, so if possible bring your own blanket in addition to your cold weather gear. A small pillow is a good idea, too. It's hot on the way up during the day and cold at night, so bring layers.

Absolutely thrilled with the volcano tour to Acatenango! This experience exceeded all my expectations. The breathtaking landscapes, the challenge of the ascent, and the unforgettable views of the surrounding volcanoes made this trip a truly unforgettable adventure. I must emphasize the unwavering support and expertise of our guide, Melvin. His passion for the volcanoes, his extensive knowledge of the region, and his ability to lead us safely through the route turned the tour into a real standout. Melvin not only ensured our safety but also ensured that we could fully enjoy every minute on Acatenango. His positive energy and enthusiasm were infectious and kept the entire group motivated. Highlighting the eruptions and the ascent of the Fuego volcano added an extra layer of excitement to the experience. This tour with Melvin as our guide is genuinely unforgettable, and I can't wait to embark on more adventures with him.
