Tips

Hiking

Great two day trip up Acatenango and Fuego. Six hour ascent of Acatenango and then an overnight tent in the crater before tackling Fuego in the morning. A great couple of days.

Hiking

After the conditionally demanding ascent to the base camp of the Acatenango volcano, it is worth climbing the summit (3,967 meters) before sunrise. The view of the lava-spitting Fuego in the light of the rising sun is a natural spectacle that you will never forget in your life!

Hiking

For the evening and night, it is definitely advisable to bring warm clothing and gloves, as it gets very cold at night at this altitude. In exposed places like the summit, it can also be quite windy.
