Summit of Volcán de Acatenango

Highlight • Summit

Great two day trip up Acatenango and Fuego. Six hour ascent of Acatenango and then an overnight tent in the crater before tackling Fuego in the morning. A great couple of days.

To enjoy the sunrise at the summit, you have to leave camp at around 4am and climb about 350 metres. The effort is worth it because you can not only admire the sunrise, but also see the nearby Fuego from above.
