★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,189 reviews · 2 days · from $54Our pick

Acatenango Volcano hiking review from Antigua: a tough two-day climb, cold camp, sunrise views, Fuego eruptions, meals, costs, and practical tips.

“My partner and I have hiked before and thought this wouldn’t be as difficult as other reviews made it out to be, but we were so wrong—this hike is HARD!! However, this tour made sure to take it slow and stopped for plenty of breaks. Definitely bring warm clothes, as it’s very cold at the top, and bring heaps of snacks because the meals they provide don’t fill you up. You can buy snacks and water along the way, so don’t stress about running out. The cabins are exactly how they look in the photos. You will share with strangers, which is a bit close for comfort, but it’s only…”

“The activity was good but the worth of money spent was a disappointment. People whom I shared a tent with have paid 2 times less for the experience than I did because they broke it at the hotel not online. I have said 125$ for the same experience they paid 65$.”

Review of the 2-day Acatenango hike from Antigua, with summit views, Fuego eruptions, camping details, costs, packing tips, and honest advice.

“This was probably the most challenging thing I have done but also the most incredible experience I have ever had! Just a word of advice to take the following: wet wipes, tissues, head lamp (or torch) for early morning summit, hiking poles (they make such a difference) and obliviously warm clothing (it gets freezing at night).”

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 7 reviews · 2 days · from $190

Review of a 2-day Antigua tour to Chichicastenango and Lake Atitlan, with market tips, village visits, transport advice, and honest value notes.

“Honestly I would not do this tour again. It would be easier to book in pieces by yourself. I thought that it was a group tour that stayed together for the two days but it isn’t. After the allotted time in chichicastenango I went back to the shuttle and found out it was going back to Antigua not Panajachel and so I got dropped off on the side of the road to a different shuttle. Day two of the tour ended up going smoothly but day one was a mess. Would all have gone much smoother if the company communicated ahead of time - wasn’t concerned when I thought everyone…”
