Live one of the most impressive volcano adventures in Central America with our flagship Acatenango & Fuego Volcano Camping Expedition.
This 2-day hiking experience takes you to the summit of Volcán Acatenango, one of Guatemala’s most iconic volcanoes, with privileged views of the constantly erupting Volcán de Fuego.
On the first day, we hike up to our comfortable basecamp, strategically located directly facing Volcán de Fuego. From here you can witness spectacular eruptions lighting up the night sky.
In the evening, participants can join an optional extra hike to Volcán de Fuego ridge, where you can observe the eruptions from a closer and more dramatic perspective. Lava explosions, glowing ash clouds, and the sound of the volcano create an unforgettable natural spectacle.
On the second day, we wake early to continue hiking to the summit of Acatenango, where we witness one of the most magical moments of the trip: sunrise above a sea of clouds, with panoramic views of Guatemala’s volcanic chain and the surrounding highlands.
This expedition is challenging, authentic, and deeply rewarding — an adventure that stays with you for life.
More than just a hike, it’s an experience that transforms you.
