Volcan Acatenango

Acatenango & Fuego Trekking with V-Hiking Tours​

Summit the famous Acatenango and Fuego volcanoes above Antigua.

These incredible volcanoes near Antigua draw many travelers for the stunning views and chance to see lava erupting from Fuego. Although the elevation is high and the trail is tough, this experience is quickly becoming a must-do in Guatemala.

Although Quetzaltrekkers is too far from these volcanoes to hike it ourselves, we recommend V-Hiking tours, a locally owned operator that works to provide meaningful employment for local guides, reducing the risks of forced emigration, not to mention an amazing experience sleeping in small huts on the top of a volcano!

What to Expect:

After private pickup at in the morning, have breakfast at Elvin’s family home before climbing to base camp with local certified guides. Enjoy the night in a small cabin, and optionally hike over to Fuego if you have more energy. In the morning, summit the volcano for an incredible sunrise before descending down and finishing the experience in the afternoon.
