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.

Acatenango Base Camps

Highlight • Mountain Hut

If you stand on the slope of Fuego and look across to Acatenango, you can see several "campamentos" on its flanks. At night, the eruptions of Fuego are even more spectacular because you can see the glowing red lava fountains.
