Acatenango volcano
Get your hiking boots on and prepare yourself for another fantastic Guatemalan experience. The powerful and dramatic landscape of Acatenango’s twin peaks will leave you inspired and humbled at every turn. Much more challenging than Pacaya, it’s well worth the effort just to see Acatenango’s overpowering beauty. This captivating trip takes two days and one night. Day 1 takes you up the lower peak in around 6-8 hours. With El Fuego right next door, you might even get a free fireworks show as the evening sets in. Day 2 has a 3am start and takes you to the higher peak in a similar time. The summit view of Guatemala’s Pacific coast and arc of volcanoes will leave you literally (at 3976m/13045ft) and figuratively breathless.
