Review of the budget-friendly 2-day Acatenango hike from Antigua, with volcano views, camp details, costs, difficulty, and practical tips.

“Such an incredible experience. The hike is tough due to the steep elevation and gravel path. I wore trail runners with good traction and did not need poles. The extra fuego hike is definitely worth it - you get so much closer to see the eruptions. We were allocated to “Acatenango Tours” group and the campsite was ok; sleeping bags in tarpaulin tents with no lights. Not the best but not the worst. Some other camp sites looked better. Unfortunately our guides did not speak english so communication was difficult.”

Review of a $90 overnight Acatenango hike from Antigua, with sunrise, Fuego eruptions, meals, guides, cabins, costs, and practical tips.

“Incredible experience. The hike is hard but doable. The accommodations are very rustic and it is very cold at night. Jose and Christian were attentive guides on the way up. My son went on the extra hike the afternoon we got to the top, and Jose did a good job with the group for the extra hike. We saw an eruption. The only problem was Christian rushed up the mountain the morning of the summit and he did not slow the pace for slower hikers, so half of our group was unable to summit the second day.”

“This is an incredible experience. It’s a very tough hike. Angell and Rogelio were great tour guides. Very helpful and friendly. The one thing that could have been better is the food. We were given a thick, hard loaf of bread that was stuffed with a very small portion of pepperoni or something. It was cold and there was no way to heat it up. Then we were given bland pasta and noodles ssw other tours enjoying hearty portions of heated chicken and rice.”

Review of Acatenango’s $85 overnight hike from Antigua, with sunset, sunrise, Fuego views, meals, camping, gear, costs, and preparation tips.

“I hiked Fuego and Acatenango with my friend with Brothers expeditions. Go on a week day, it’s crowded on the weekend. There was no running water at our cabin which isn’t a big deal.It’s hit and miss as to whether or not you’ll see the volcano while it’s active. The views were great (when there wasn’t people in the way). Also make sure you are properly prepared with a couple jackets, headlamp and water. I had to rent a headlamp for the price of a new one.”

Hike Acatenango in two days with camp meals, gear, sunrise views, and optional Volcano of Fire trek from Antigua, Guatemala.

“AMAZING. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. Everything went smoother than expected. The provided gear and rental gear was in great condition. 4x4 ride was a blast, hike to camp was easy. Loved the fuego hike. Although we had one girl who clearly could not make it and the guide kept trying to help her up (eventually she had to give up) which held us up from seeing sunrise at top. Food was delicious, the cabins were awesome. We were provided a sleeping pad and bag (no pillow so if you need one bring one!) 10/10 amazing. Once in a lifetime experience”

Review of the 2-day Acatenango hike from Antigua, with meals, camping gear, sunrise views, guide advice, costs, and practical tips.

“Unfortunately, my experience was not the best. The only person in the group who did not speak Spanish was myself (my friend turned back). When I enquired over WhatsApp if the guide spoke English, they replied that the guide did, but the bus driver did not. However, communication was challenging because nobody spoke English at all. We weren't picked up by a bus either. They kept calling it a bus, but it was actually a taxi driver. When I inquired for trekking poles, they replied 100Q on WhatsApp, but when we arrived, it was 150Q. Overall would not recommend.”
