Acatenango is the region’s third highest peak and will be your home for one night, the perfect place to witness life in its brightest splendor.
Set next to the Fire Volcano (Volcán de Fuego), one of the three active volcanoes in Guatemala, famous for its lava eruptions that can be seen from basecamp. Andrea Cardona as many other experienced hikers agree that enjoying sunrise above Acatenango summit it is exceptional, making you feel above the clouds like in heaven.
Volcan de Fuego is known to be the world’s most consistently erupting volcano. Its eruptions can be viewed from the distance when driving to the starting point from Antigua and like clockwork every 15 minutes you can view the smoke bellowing out of the top.
As you ascend, experience microclimate variations crossing through a diverse ecosystem, make sure that when you listen to your inner voice, it is motivating in the middle of the physical challenge, the entire team will be there for you.
