The Acatenango Overnight Trip is for many travelers the highlight of their tour through Central America. Although big and a challenging hike the reward of camping in a tent in the fresh air with a view of Fuego Volcano is simply amazing.
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.

Unforgettable experience
This was by far one of the most challenging but rewarding hikes I’ve ever done. The key to this hike is preparation. You will be sleeping in a tent with a number of people and base camp gets to be about 32F at night, so bring warm clothes. Bring 4 liters of water, & be prepared for a 4.5 uphill hike. I’m a marathon runner and the elevation was definitely tough but worth it. The views were incredible and it was really an amazing experience to see fuego volcan erupt so many times throughout the night. I did not opt to hike close to the crater of fuego as it is a risk that I didn’t feel comfortable taking, being that close to a volatile and active volcano. You’re high above the clouds and it’s just such a gorgeous view. Highly recommend. 10/10

I don't recommend them
Very unpunctual, the expectation is not clear on the website of what they really offer. You have to ask more on WhatsApp. Only one of the three guides (Don Luis) was attentive to everything, the others went ahead, leaving the group behind and there are parts that are a little dangerous. They do not specify exactly the type of clothing required especially for the tour and for the season. To go to that place, at least three sweaters, leg warmers, booties, if possible walking sticks and none of that describes it, it is also important to set the severity of the tour. The guides were not bilingual.
