From Antigua: Adventure, 2-Day Hiking to Acatenango Volcano - Leaving Antigua at 8:45 AM

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

“We had a great time, the drive was safe, rather slow and a timely pick up/drop off. Our guide Roberto was very nice and took care of the group. We had different fitness levels on the tour and had breaks every 15-20 minutes which made the main hike pretty easy. For the price of this tour, it’s the exact same thing as all other tours offer and we had a great time!”

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

The tour included so much, Cocoa, wine, honey and the sites all around Antigua and the outskirts. The driver’s skills going up and down the mountain to Hobbitenago were amazing. Lots of time there and great food. We were able to arrange transport to Guatemala City later that day with the same tour company for a great price too. Would definitely recommend!!”

Review of the $25 Tikal Sunset Tour from Flores, covering temples, wildlife, sunset views, transport, extra fees, and practical tips.

“Our guide Alberto the bird man was honestly one of the best guides we’ve had on a 6 week trip through Mexico. He was extremely knowledgeable and perfectly bilingual between Spanish and English which was great for our group. We didn’t have the best weather on our sunset tour and Alberto adapted the tour to make sure we didn’t miss out on sights and pictures despite the gloomy weather and lack of sunset. We later found out he’d already done a sunrise tour the same day yet he still had the energy and patience to give us a great experience after what must have been a very long day. Tikal…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 153 reviews · from $20

Review of the $20 shared shuttle between Antigua and Panajachel, with pickup details, comfort tips, timing, value, and honest drawbacks.

“For a shared shuttle, the experience was likely typical- meaning you will be at the mercy of limited pick up times, traffic, other travelers, and the driver. Some travelers had to exchange to another vehicle with minimal communication from the initial driver. If traveling with 3 or more people, consider private if able.”
