Antigua’s Volcan Acatenango is a remarkable climb that stands tall at 13,041 ft / 3,976 m, and it is a must-do for most adventure travelers in Guatemala. The hike not only provides panoramic views of the entire region but also offers a unique vantage point to witness the nearby (and highly active!) Volcan Fuego has been erupting almost continuously since colonial times.
The Acatenango Volcano Overnight Hike offers the best opportunity to experience this incredible natural wonder. Hikers get to witness awe-inspiring nighttime views of flowing lava and catch the sunrise the next morning from the summit of Acatenango. While the hike is demanding, even for the most seasoned hikers, the Acatenango Volcano Overnight Hike is the perfect choice for adrenaline junkies and adventure seekers looking to experience the best that Guatemala has to offer. This is an unforgettable overnight hike that you won’t want to miss!

Volcan De Acatenango Y Volcan De Pacaya
During the hike, we encounter four ecosystems with unique features. First, we see lush agricultural fields where farmers grow various crops, including corn and snow peas. Then, we enter a tropical cloud forest, teeming with diverse flora and fauna, providing shade and comfort for the steep ascent. Exiting the cloud forest, we enter a high-alpine forest offering stunning views of six volcanoes, where we enjoy a trail lunch. Afterward, we reach a wind-swept volcanic terrain where we camp at 12,300 ft / 3,750 m. Here, we enjoy dinner, coffee, and tea around the campfire with breathtaking views of Antigua Valley and Volcan Fuego, an unforgettable experience of watching volcanic eruptions and gazing at the star-filled sky.
Summiting Acatenango

Acatenango
After fueling up with an early morning breakfast, hikers embark on a 45-minute ascent to the summit of Acatenango. The climb may be steep, but the breathtaking views of Volcan Fuego, the Antigua Valley, and the Guatemalan highlands stretching all the way to Mexico make it all worthwhile. At the summit, guests will have a full 360-degree panoramic view to take in. After spending approximately an hour at the top (depending on weather and timing), we begin the three-hour descent back down the volcano, arriving at La Soledad and our waiting transportation by mid-day. Groups usually return to Antigua by early afternoon (~1:00 pm) with plenty of time to enjoy a celebratory beer, cappuccino, or a well-deserved siesta. Congratulations on conquering the volcano!

5.00My husband and I had a blast on the adventure of hiking to Acatenango. We had a very small group which made everything easier and more comfortable, compared to the other groups we saw. All meals were provided and were delicious. Our guide, Chris, was excellent and very experienced and knowledgeable on all local things. He was friendly and had great English and did everything he could to enhance our experience.
Fantastic guides, porters and staff within the camp, disappointing, poor value for money on this expensive tour.

3.00The three stars are for the two excellent guides, particularly David, knowledgeable very good, paced the group, ensured all were looked after end, the other guide American/Canadian can’t recall also great, looked after my friend who was unwell. The lunch provided was less than adequate, we paid a lot of money for the trip, we were told that the lunch would be very nice, other groups who paid less had better lunches, we were given one sandwich, no other snacks or drinks. The evening meal was fine, but again, for what we paid, less than adequate. We had initially paid for glamping, but were then told that we had been undercharged and the option was refund or do the overnight camp, we had no choice as we didn’t have time to book another tour. I felt the female boss was more interested in money than satisfied customer
Wonderful experience hiking the volcano with Trek Guatemala!

5.00We had a great time in our hike! It was hard, the elevation gain was intense coming from sea level but loved our guides and they helped us through it! Andres, Oscar, and Rodrigo were excellent at keeping us motivated and our spirits high. The food was quite good and the camp was perfectly situated to see the volcano eruptions at night. The summit sunrise was amazing! It was an exhausting hike but very beautiful and worth it. Next time we would try the glamping option as the tents were nice but a bit small for my husband who is 6’2”. I was also a little cold at night and wish I had brought a sleeping bag liner. Only do the add on hike if it’s a clear night. You can see plenty from the base camp and it’s a very tiring day to include the additional hike if it’s cloudy.
Don't book on the weekend! and U don't need 5L water. Good experience

4.00My wife and I went on the overnight hike with adventure camping with Trek Guatemala on December 14-15 2025 (sunday-monday). Overall we had a pretty nice experience, but I'm giving it 4/5 stars for a couple specific reasons. We paid extra for a private tour with a guide, and the advertisement said we would have a private trail. This is mostly untrue; the "private trail" is right next to the public trail, and it is only for the first mile or so of the entire hike. Most of the hike you're on the same trail as everyone else. We went up on Sunday. This was a mistake: there were literally hundreds of people on the trail on Sunday morning, such that the hike up we were amongst throngs of people the entire way. Monday our descent was a lot quieter. There were still >200 other people on the trail, but it was a fraction of the traffic on sunday. Trek Guatemala told us we had to hike up with 5 Liters of water each (so, 10 L total). We descended the mountain and finished the hike still carrying 6 L of un-drunk water. They make you hike with it (yet they do have vehicle transport of materials up the road on the backside of the mountain). You'll be fine with 3 L per person. These complaints notwithstanding, overall we had a great time, Fuego was amazing. We didn't get to see it as much as liked due to weather (clouds), but of course the weather is not Trek Guatemala's fault!
Great hike

5.00My husband and I had a beautiful trek up Acatenango. Fuego was active. Our guide Luis was wonderful. The camp and staff at the top were great. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great. Lots of clouds, and rain during the night and the second day. So views were only on the first day/evening.
Coolest experience ever!

5.00We took a 4x4 up the volcano with Leo as our guide, hiking only about 2 miles to base camp and then summited Acatenango the next morning! It was truly an unforgettable experience with amazing guides, comfortable facilities, and great food! The 4x4 was a great option if you’re worried about the hard hike, while still having the chance to get steps in! Even just the views from the base camp were astounding… can’t wait to come back! Thanks Trek!
Smooth Experience

5.00Very smooth and memorable experience, accommodating team to logistical requests, would use the service again. Mid-November was a great time to visit, with clear views of Fuego and barely any rain at the top! Sunrise on the way down was amazing. Crazy volcano views from the campsite!
