Acatenango Volcano Overnight Adventure from Guatemala City

 Day 1: Hike To Camp 

Pick up from your hotel in Guatemala City and transfer to the meeting point in Antigua. Departure from Antigua will be at 8:00 a.m.

A one-hour drive takes us from Antigua to the sleepy mountain village of La Soledad. The trail up Volcan Acatenango has four distinct microclimates, each of which will take you about an hour to traverse. On our way up, we will be rewarded with fantastic views of the other highland volcanoes (Atitlan, Toliman, San Pedro, Santa Maria, Santo Tomas, Tajumulco). A fresh picnic is prepared mid-day for our group to enjoy. Hike duration will be 5 hours approx. After setting up camp, hikers are free to rest, relax and enjoy their surroundings while our guide prepares a fresh camp dinner at 3750m with hot tea and coffee. 

Day 2: Summiting Acatenango 

In the morning, after an early camp breakfast, our group embarks on a 45-minute ascent to the summit. At the summit, our group will enjoy sunrise and unparalleled 360-degree views of the entirety of the Guatemalan highlands – all the way to the border of Mexico. After 45min at the top, the group will begin the 3-hour descent back towards La Soledad, from there we will be transported back to Antigua and then, to yourhotel in Guatemala City.
