From Antigua: Adventure, 2-Day Hiking to Acatenango Volcano - Leaving Antigua and preparing at 8:45 AM

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,189 reviews · 2 days · from $54Our pick

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.”

Hike Pacaya from Antigua through pine forest and volcanic ash for lava views, steam-heated marshmallows, and big volcano scenery.

“Hike is relatively easy, but in case there is a problem, horses are provided for 100 QTZ (one way). I advise against taking the horses though, since I feel like they don't treat them well. Unfortunately it was cloudy and I wasn'r really able to see anything. Hiking shoes are recommended but it can also be done in sneakers.”

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 the Pacaya Volcano hike from Antigua, with transport, trail difficulty, horse options, marshmallow roasting, costs, and practical tips.

“Was pleased with this experience. Both guides were excellent and highly recommend. They were kind, curated group rest spots to helps those who needed to catch their breath. The horseman were abit pushy to rent horses for the tour, however within reason as halfway through the hike several peoples did arrange to finish the hike with a horse to get to the top. Several horses were following right behind us. A little demeaning when you are feeling winded getting up to the top. The route we went up was hard. I am active and hike regularly so I was fine, however it is a challenge. We experienced a lot of…”
