Acatenango vulkaan overnachtingswandeling

Incredible experience thanks to our amazing guides Pablo and Gilberto. Very accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. Carlos who brought our items was fantastic also!

Absolutely incredible experience. Pablo and Gilberto were extremely accommodating and excellent guides! Carlos was super, carrying our items.

Pablo and Gil were excellent guides, as well as Carlos, who was attentive to us the entire time. Telling stories and sharing interesting facts. The food was delicious and fresh. The view of the volcano was spectacular. Great experience!!!

We (2 friends) had inquired by email beforehand for a private guide for the 2 of us, got confirmation and booked. What a surprise to get there in the morning of the hike and find a huge crowd waiting. Well, it turns out we would walk in a group of 14! Disappointment at that moment, but no option for us not to go. Luckily they all were nice and all in good shape & spirits! The trip was organised very well, and our guides Angie, Angel and Beanie were super! Watching Fuego was quite spectacular. The summit approach is rather demanding but the view rewarding. Unfortunately mass tourism up there. Our advice: bring your own WARM sleeping bag or you are sure to freeze! It was a great experience. Communication in the correspondence could be improved. Cheers to our 3 great guides!

We had an amazing trip made even more special by our amazing guide Angie who looked after us in a very thoughtful and caring way, even giving us coffee at 6am on the top of Acatenango. She was a truly special person.

My husband and I had an unforgettable experience with Old Town Outfitters hiking and camping overnight at base camp before summiting the Acatenango volcano. The company was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Safety was clearly a top priority. We were in a small group of twelve guests with two knowledgeable guides, which made the hike feel very well supported and personal. We never felt rushed, and the guides were incredibly positive and encouraging throughout the entire trek. They took frequent water and snack breaks and paced the hike perfectly. One thing we really appreciated was that they have access to some off-path, private trails, which meant we avoided long waits on narrow sections of the hike. It made the experience feel much more relaxed and exclusive. Base camp was fantastic. The views of Volcán Fuego erupting through the night were absolutely incredible and something we will never forget. There was a fire pit to stay warm, and the food was surprisingly delicious, especially after a long hike. All of the camping gear was in excellent condition and very comfortable. Overall, Old Town Outfitters exceeded our expectations in every way. If you are considering hiking Acatenango, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

We did the Acatenango Volcano in 4x4, going up as a family. Really an unforgettable experience. From the smallest details. The guide Vini really was in everything and accompanied us at all times, each with his rhythm, plus everything with great joy. Also very exciting the climb in 4x4, the road was part of the experience, with Carlitos, really an excellent driver. Also a word to Caesar, who took us and prepared the meal. I'm not gonna say it doesn't take much effort, but it was worth it.

What a fantastic experience. The three guides Vinny david and Rudy were excellent. Their infectious enthusiasm is excellent. Despite the atrocious weather rain and wind, it was a privilege to go on this hike with them all. They catered for all abilities at the front and back of our large group. Be prepared for steep hikes early mornings and late nights as El Fuego thunders into life. One of life's must do experiences

Amazing experience- Daniel and Willy did everything they could to make our trip enjoyable. It was a challenging hike, but we were really supported every step of the way. The whole experience was amazing, especially the sunrise from the top…. Honestly, couldn’t have done it (or enjoyed it) without this team….

My overall experience on my trip up Acatenango is not reflective of the service provided by OTO. I did the overnight hike and camping with this group. While I did not get out of this trip what I had envisioned due to weather conditions, which is completely out of OTO’s control, what I will say is that from start to finish OTO provided top of the line service! Rolando (aka Rolo) my guide made the trip a hell of a lot easier than had I gone with another agency. While other agencies take groups of 30-40 people at a hurried pace (resulting in many people turning back), OTO provides a guide for every 7 people they take up. Having a smaller group (3 total in mine) definitely helps in several ways. Rolo made sure there was no pressure to hurry and allowed me to go at my own pace even though I was consistently trailing by a few minutes. He’d often climb back down to check on me. OTO provides tents for every person while other agencies have bunked cabins. This may turn off people at first, but the tents really do insulate you through the night. As far as temperature, I slept pretty comfortably through the night without having to sleep with a coat. Can’t say enough good things about Rolo. Experienced, friendly, considerate, the list goes on. I would definitely recommend OTO over other agencies!
