Tour Overview
The Acatenango Overnight Trip is for many travelers the highlight of their tour through Central America. Although big and a challenging hike the reward of camping in a tent in the fresh air with a view of Fuego Volcano is simply amazing. We climb this volcano more than all our competition combined, rain or shine. Our professional guide team and organized procedures work hard to manage the unpredictable chaos of mother nature to provide a high-quality experience. It’s all about the details. We want each and every client to have an enjoyable time no matter where the adventure takes us. Another thing that sets us apart is we really care about the environment. Call us traditional, but we pride ourselves on leaving no trace; we take all our gear up and bring everything back down. Hiking this way we protect the fragile volcanic ecosystem that we love so much. ...more ...less
