    Acatenango, La Soledad

    The ride from our main office to "La Soledad," the hike’s starting point, takes 45–60 minutes in a shared minibus. The hike to basecamp takes 6 to 8 hours, with scenic breaks along the way, including a stop for lunch (pack essentials like toilet paper!). Upon arrival, marvel at Fuego Volcano’s eruptions under the night sky. Later, gather by the campfire for hot chocolate and Guatemalan rum, followed by a hearty dinner. Accommodation is in our newly built wooden cabins, featuring insulation, sleeping bags, and glass doors to view the eruptions in warmth and comfort. Each cabin has a max capacity of 5 people.

    Experience the thrill of standing just 200 meters from Fuego Volcano’s eruptions on this adventurous 3.5-hour round trip! At an altitude of 3,768 meters (12,362 feet), this hike offers a safe yet awe-inspiring vantage point to witness one of Guatemala’s most active volcanoes. Departing at 4 PM, the hike requires intermediate fitness and takes you to the volcano, where you’ll spend 30 minutes watching the eruptions up close. Participants must come prepared with water, a jacket, and a headlamp, as this is a difficult hike. For safety reasons, travelers are not allowed to approach Fuego alone—doing so will immediately end the trip to ensure everyone’s well-being. The price is Q250 per person and Q400 for solo travelers. Join us for an unforgettable adventure!
