The 15 Best Tours in Guatemala

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 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.”
