About Acatenango
The Acatenango volcano hike is a bucket-list experience. At 3,976 meters, it offers front-row seats to Volcán de Fuego's eruptions. Most tours are overnight trips from Antigua, camping near the summit to watch Fuego light up the night sky with lava and explosions. The hike is challenging but rewarding, with stunning views of the Valley of Panchoy, Lake Atitlán, and on clear days, both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
