If you want to experience Guatemalan volcanoes' adrenaline without too much physical effort, this tour is for you.
This trip allows visitors to approach as much as possible to one of the Acatenango Volcano summits in a comfortable 4WD vehicle. Therefore you will only need to walk to the top for approximately 1 and a half hours.
Enjoy a camping-style meal at the top of the summit and appreciate the mesmerizing views. Don't forget your camera and comfortable clothes to have the best time!
Take note: This tour works better during non-raining months.
Rainy months: from May-August.
Note: The local tour guide is from a nearby indigenous community. The local tour guide can guide you in Spanish and if you speak English, they can give you general instructions in English, however, they are not 100% bilingual.

The tour was taken care of end to end. The guides managed everything with precision. We started the trip as 12 am at night and then went to Antigua for the gear and transfer to 4x4. We started the hike at 1 am and it was beautiful. The guide who climbed with us was very nice and understanding. It is not an easy hike, we wanted to give up mid way but our guide pushed us (glad he did!) and the sunrise was beautiful! When we came back, they gave us pancakes. My only complain would be the driver for the 4x4 (nice overall) started taking calls while driving. We we already up the whole night and the non stop talking gave a headache.

Very well organized, knowledgeable, and communicative company, driver, and guide. Mother nature you cannot control and almost threw us a curveball, but it cleared just in time and had an unforgettable experience with above the cloud increadible views, wildflowers of all colors, and the highlight an eruption of Volcan Fuego next door @ summit. Highly recommended, tough hike with altitude but doable for most decently in shape.

Seeing the lava spew out of the volcano at night. However the meal was not a gourmet meal. It was chicken breast and a bag salad. It was ok but definitely not gourmet.

Very cool experience and Juan-Miguel did a great job. We did the harder climb to the Acatenango summit which was very cool and worthwhile. Bring hiking shoes and layers since it's warm at the start and colder, windy at the top.
