1.Adventure, 2-Day Hiking to Acatenango Volcano

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

2.Antigua, Guatemala: Volcano Acatenango Overnight Hiking

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 645 reviews · 2 days · from $90

Review of Antigua’s Acatenango overnight hike, with lava views, sunrise, meals, cabins, guide quality, costs, and practical preparation tips.

“The guide Alex was truly great and looked for parts of group that were a bit slow (aka me). The tour itself is no joke, as other comments will let you know. Make sure to book two hiking poles. Up there the sleeping bags did not close, so make sure to put on really warm clothes. Do Fuego only if you feel well with highs. You can see it perfectly from Acatenango though. Absolutely worth the hike. I was slightly terrified the entire time (I have fear of hights, there aren’t many steep points though) but most people were quite okay. The first bit is quite dusty, make sure to…”

4.Overnight Adventure Hike Acatenango Volcano

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 151 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $84

Review of the two-day Acatenango Volcano hike from Antigua, with camping, costs, gear, food, group concerns, and practical booking advice.

“I was really excited about this experience—the opportunity to hike a volcano with like-minded adventurers. When I arrived at the office, I was surprised by how many people were there. I initially assumed there were multiple groups, but it quickly became clear that things were chaotic from the start. There was very little instruction, and people were essentially told to get in where they fit in. My group ended up being 40+ people for what was supposed to be a 16-person hike. The guides appeared to be very young and, unfortunately, didn’t seem to have the experience needed to manage such a large and varied group. We were never informed…”

Review the 2-day Acatenango hike from Antigua, with Fuego eruptions, summit camping, meals, gear, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“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$.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · from $245Top rated

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).”
