Volcan De Acatenango Y Volcan De Pacaya

During the hike, we encounter four ecosystems with unique features. First, we see lush agricultural fields where farmers grow various crops, including corn and snow peas. Then, we enter a tropical cloud forest, teeming with diverse flora and fauna, providing shade and comfort for the steep ascent. Exiting the cloud forest, we enter a high-alpine forest offering stunning views of six volcanoes, where we enjoy a trail lunch. Afterward, we reach a wind-swept volcanic terrain where we camp at 12,300 ft / 3,750 m. Here, we enjoy dinner, coffee, and tea around the campfire with breathtaking views of Antigua Valley and Volcan Fuego, an unforgettable experience of watching volcanic eruptions and gazing at the star-filled sky.

Acatenango Volcano

6h
Admission ticket included

After fueling up with an early morning breakfast, hikers embark on a 1-hour ascent to the summit of Acatenango. The climb may be steep, but the breathtaking views of Volcan Fuego, the Antigua Valley, and the Guatemalan highlands stretching all the way to Mexico make it all worthwhile. At the summit, guests will have a full 360-degree panoramic view to take in. After spending approximately an hour at the top (depending on weather and timing), we begin the three-hour descent back down the volcano, arriving at La Soledad and our waiting transportation by mid-day. Groups usually return to Antigua by early afternoon (~1:00 pm) with plenty of time to enjoy a celebratory beer, cappuccino, or a well-deserved siesta. Congratulations on conquering the volcano!
