Acatenango 4x4 Volcano Camping Tour

Service Description

Acatenango is one of Guatemala’s most emblematic volcanoes and a must for adventure lovers. Located close to Antigua, it is famous for its challenging slopes and its spectacular views of the surrounding highlands and the constantly active Fuego Volcano. This special 4x4 overnight tour reduces the hiking time by taking you higher up the mountain in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, so you can enjoy the experience with less physical effort and more time at camp. You’ll travel by 4x4 through forests and highland scenery before starting a shorter hike to the campsite. Along the way, your bilingual guide sets the pace, offers safety tips and shares information about the local landscape and volcanic activity. Once at camp, you can relax, enjoy lunch or dinner, and prepare for a night of unforgettable views as Fuego sends glowing eruptions into the sky. The next morning you wake up to sunrise over the Guatemalan highlands, have breakfast and begin the descent, returning to Antigua around mid-morning.
