Climbing an ACTIVE Volcano! ???? | Fuego and Acatenango Volcanoes, Guatemala
Guatemala is a land of volcanoes. With 37 total, 3 of which are active. It's hard to miss them towering along the horizon of almost any southern point in the country. Nowhere is this more apparent than around the city of Antigua which lives in the shadow of these mostly sleeping giants. Volcano Acatenango is the third highest volcano in the country rising to 3,976 meters which is over 13,000 feet. Acatenango is unique in that it is joined to a second volcano creating a volcano complex called La Horqueta. The volcano it is joined to is still active, and known as, volcán de Fuego. Fuego is known for consistently spewing ash and rock about every 15 to 20 minutes. It's last major eruption was as recent as 2018 when an eruption caused a massive landslide burying a village and killing 25 people. The two peaks sit across from one another joined at the hip by a saddle of lava rock and ash.
Come climb these two impressive volcanoes with us in an unforgettable bucket list adventure!

I ALMOST DIDN’T MAKE IT… HIKING VOLCANO ACATENANGO, GUATEMALA! (FULL TOUR & TIPS)
If you’re traveling Guatemala and are looking for things to do in Guatemala and are up for a heart pumping adventure hiking up Volcán Acatenango is a great option. Volcano Acatenango is located around an hour from Antigua and starts at an elevation of 2,400 m. In this Guatemala Travel Vlog I will take you through my entire experience of hiking Volcan Acatenango, all the ups and the downs, literally! After a 5 hour hike straight up we reach base camp which is located at 3,600 meters. It’s here where we rest, take in the views of Volcán Fuego and sleep for the night before ascending to the peak of Acatenango for sunrise, 3,976 m (13,044 feet). This hike was the hardest physical activity I have ever completed and I will be honest there were many times I wanted to turn back around but knowing you were there with me kept me going! I hope this Acatenango Guatemala video helps you out when you’re planning your trip to Guatemala! #guatemala #acatenango

Climbing Acatenango and Volcán de Fuego during a hailstorm | Guatemala | Episode 5
In this episode, I embark on the overnight Acatenango Trek. Arguably the most renowned trek in Central America, the Acatenango Trek is a unique experience where you get to sleep alongside two active volcanoes. It's steep, sweaty and a heap of fun (though the weather was not in my favour unfortunately).

Climbing into HELL | Hiking Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala ????????
Climbing into HELL: Hiking Acatenango Volcano
Climbing the Acatenango Volcano was one of the most physically demanding and mentally challenging activities that I've ever done in my life. This hike will break you if you're not prepared!
Have you ever seen a volcano eruption? Ever seen a lava flow up close? Well, GET READY! Volcan de Acatenango wil PUSH YOU TO YOUR LIMITS.
I spent over 3 months traveling throughout Guatemala, and climbing Acatenango was my favorite memory. Hiking a volcano should be at the top of your travel bucket list!
Join me as we depart from Antigua, Guatemala, and then gear up to go on an overnight volcano hike. We'll be camping next to the active Fuego Volcano, and hiking to the summit to catch an unreal sunset.
Along the way we will meet travelers from all over the world!
TIPS FOR HIKING ACATENANGO VOLCANO:
1. Hire a porter--Trust me, you do not want to carry a giant bag up this mountain. Spend the extra money to support a local to carry your pack. Your knees, back, and spine will thank you.
2. Bring at least 5L of water. Drink at least 1.5 liters before you begin the hike. Hydration is key to preventing altitude sickness.
3. Dress warm and bring more layers than you think you will need. The volcano gets SO COLD at night.
4. Check the mountain forecast website to ensure you don't pick a day that will have rain, snow, or low visibility. This is easier said than done, but follow the website day by day and look for patterns. Also cross reference the forecast with what other hikers describe when they return.
5. ALWAYS TRUST THE GUIDES. I made a major mistake and trusted some random hiker to tell us where to go, and he was WRONG WRONG WRONG and we all regretted listening to him, instead of our guide.
Make sure to check out all of my Guatemala vlogs! Happy to share all the cool thing to do in Antigua Guatemala!

Most Pro ACATENANGO Volcano Overnight Tour!
The Acatenango Overnight Hike is such a special adventure and currently Antigua, Guatemala’s most popular among travelers. Volcan Acatenango is the beautiful beast that started it all for OX back in 2004. With an elevation of 3976 meters it is the third highest volcano in Central America. This epic hike takes you to the summit of the most beautiful volcano in Guatemala with incredible views of the active Fuego volcano.
We climb this volcano more than all our competition combined, rain or shine. Our professional guide team and organized procedures work hard to manage the unpredictable chaos of mother nature to provide a high quality experience. It’s all about the details. We want each and every client to have an enjoyable time no matter where the adventure takes us. Another thing that sets us apart is we really care about the environment. Call us traditional but we pride ourselves on leaving no trace; we take all our gear up and bring everything back down. Hiking this way we protect the fragile volcanic ecosystem that we love so much.
ACATENANGO OVERNIGHT HIKE : TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
Without a doubt the most epic part of this adventure camping experience is watching the Fuego Volcano erupt with lava and a boom right below your campsite.

Ep. 15 - Hiking an ACTIVE Volcano! ????Volcan Fuego and Volcan Acatenango, Guatemala.
In a land of fire and brimstone stirs the ever active Volcano that’s name strikes fear into the hearts of all those the even hear it whispered… Fuego. From Antigua, Guatemala. We took a tour with Wicho & Charlie’s Volcano Experts, and hiked Fuego’s adjacent volcano, Acatenango. It was one of the most difficult hikes we've ever done especially considering the amount of weight we carried (about 20 kilo each backpack). But it was also, without a doubt, one of the most rewarding hikes we have ever endured. The whole experience lasted one full day. During the night we slept in A-frame insulated and protected cabins at W&C’s base camp and from there could enjoy the endless eruptions from evening into the wee hours of the morning.
We highly recommend the hike and super special shoutout to Wincho and Charlie’s for all their expertise!
