Sitting around the campfire watching lava explode from Volcan Fuego was unbelievable. It\u2019s an experience I never thought possible, and it just one of the many things that made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/tag\/Guatemala\/\" rel=\"\">backpacking through Guatemala so special<\/a>. Acatenango Volcano hike is an easy addition to any Antigua Guatemala itinerary, and speaking from experience, the views you get on this overnight tour are 100% be worth the sore legs the next day!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Things_To_Know_Before_You_Embark_On_Acatenango_Volcano_Hike\">Things To Know Before You Embark On Acatenango Volcano Hike<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This volcano hike should not be something you do on a whim, it is a challenging hike for most people so coming prepared is a must.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"When_to_Hike_Acatenango\">When to Hike Acatenango<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Antigua, Guatemala there is a 6-month dry season from November \u2013 April, and a 6-month wet season from May \u2013 October. I recommend visiting during the dry season, but remember this does not guarantee\u00a0 great weather. It manage to snow (which is practically unheard of!) the night we did the summit in the middle of January.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Acatenango_Hike_Difficulty\">Acatenango Hike Difficulty<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No actual climbing or climbing gear is necessary for the hike, so in terms of technical difficulty \u2013 it\u2019s easy. The difficult part is that it\u2019s uphill the entire time. There is an e<span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">levation gain of 5150 ft. (1500 m) at an altitude of 13,000 ft and is a total distance of 11 miles (18 km) round trip, so <\/span>you need to be in shape. The days after the hike I was really sore, but because we took a break every 15 minutes I didn\u2019t find it overall too difficult.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Options_to_Hike_Acatenango\">Options to Hike Acatenango<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Acatenango Day Trip<\/li>\n<li>Overnight Volcano Hike<\/li>\n<li>Hiking Acatenango without a Guide<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><span id=\"Acatenango_Volcano_Day_Hike\">Acatenango Volcano Day Hike<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There are several companies that offer the hike as a day tour. This is a less popular option because of how special it is to watch sunrise over Fuego Volcano at sunrise. You may want to consider a day trip if you are worried about how cold it will get at night (or would like to avoid the 4AM sunrise summit!).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4847\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4847\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4847\" alt=\"hike acatenango\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8-600x750.jpg 600w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8.jpg\" alt=\"hike acatenango\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.suitcaseandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Acatenango_Volcano_Hike_8-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4847\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Great views of the surrounding mountains and even Lake Atitlan from our base camp.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><span id=\"Acatenango_Volcano_Overnight_Tour\">Acatenango Volcano Overnight Tour<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>I booked the <a href=\"https:\/\/tropicanahostel.com\/store\/Acatenango-Volcano-p70391164\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tropicana Hostel Overnight Acatenango Volcano Hike<\/a> as this was by far the best value for money tour that also included all the frills (food, cabins, transport etc.).
