2-day camping adventure to Volcan Zunil: hike up to the 3542m summit and enjoy a well deserved soak in the hot springs afterwards.
Challenge yourself with the road less travelled to the top of Zunil for sunrise, and finish the adventure in natural hot pools heated by the volcano.
Trek through lush pine forests; marvel at open mountain vistas; enjoy sunrise at 3,542m; and relax in the hot springs of Fuentes Georginas.
After a strenuous trek through beautiful forests, including a lunch stop with volcano views, we arrive at our basecamp just below the peak of Zunil. We’ll enjoy dinner there before having an early night, as the sunrise will find us at 3,542m on the top of the volcano.
After breakfast at basecamp we will descend towards the hot springs of Fuentes Georginas, where you can relax in the pools after lunch at the restaurant.
