  Miguel and Alex were great guides full of strength and stamina! I found it trouble some for both us the hikers and the guides, spotting them can be difficult when all the groups get tangled up they need a trail leader shirt/jacket/hat to be easily spotted it would definitely help us the hikers and the guides be more organized

  We had such an amazing experience with this tour. Our guides Christian, Sammy and Jesus all made our journey fun and memorable and they did such an incredible job. This hike is very challenging so make sure you are in decent shape and well prepared. It is absolutely worth it. Definitely bring extra water and a mask for the dust.

  

  

• Insane hike, both for difficulty and for views

  This hike is so much harder than you think, even for experienced hikers. The trail averages a 20% incline for 4 hours at about 2 miles altitude on a trail that is either slippery in dry season or muddy in wet season. Make sure you have or rent hiking poles! I’m really effing proud of myself for completing this hike — it was incredible to watch the volcano erupt during the night — but i’m also so happy i never have to do it again. I’ve hiked several hundred miles in my life from Alberta to the Andes and it was by far the hardest hike I’ve ever done. In most of our group’s opinion (which included several active hiker Coloradoans), the extra Fuego hike is not worth it 1) because you have to do 3–4 more hours of hiking a mere hour after the insanely hard 4–6 hour hike to basecamp and 2) the views aren’t that much better! I did the sunrise hike the next morning, which was fine but I also would have been fine skipping it. All to say, I’m impressed our guides got our whole group with a range of abilities up an extremely difficult trail. The food up at base camp was served hot. We had 3 guides for 18 hikers. Very useful gear rental options too (eg hiking poles, warm jacket, porters, etc). The biggest thorn in the experience was they quoted a price of Q225 for the optional Fuego hike both in the flyer they sent us beforehand and at the meeting before we started the hike; then up at basecamp, they told everyone the price was Q300. (They said the flyer was 6 years old and their front office hadn’t updated it.) They also rushed us out the next morning telling us in the middle of breakfast that we had 5 minutes until we were heading out and back down.

• Amazing experience but guides change price of fuego hike once we arrived at the top

  Overall the hike was good. We did have an issue before the hike and the company would not respond and when I finally call did not want to help at all. Also they did not stress that poles are essential so many choose not to get them but they are not optional for the way down. It is very slippery. This hike is extremely hard our whole group was in great shape and still struggle. Once we got to our base camp there is a second hike (Fuego) equally as hard to get you even closer. I personally don’t think it was worth it but that is up to you. The guide changed the price once we got up there which really annoyed all of us. I would recommend this hike if you are in great shape but maybe another company. Also 6 or 7 people per cabin.

• Coolest thing I've ever seen

  Guides were awesome! The group was small compared to other groups and we had a great view of Fuego from camp. Plus the camp is the lowest huts on that side of Acatanango so it's the shortest distance to go down Acatanango and up Fuego if you choose to pay extra (like we did) to go up Fuego which is definitely worth it! The hike is super steep but doable, and the guides go at the pace of the group. The meals are great and they even offered me a vegetarian option (but be warned it didn't have any protein if that is important to you and you are vegetarian). We stayed one night on the volcano and it was COLD so bring way more clothes than you think you need and lots of socks! We totally lucked out with the weather and had clear skies and the whole night but make sure to check the weather before. We booked the night before and had no issues, but again we might have lucked out with availability

  The guides were great. Views of the volcano erupting at night were amazing ! The trail was a little crowded at the beginning and end of the hike.

  The views on this hike were absolutely amazing. It was a bucket list activity. The guides were nice. The cabin was a bit rough but this trek was less expensive than others.

• Amazing views!

  The hike is hard, but very doable. If you don’t have great physical condition, just take your time. I extremely enjoyed the hike experience, views and people you meet on the way! Fair warning, it’s definitely not glamping. Bring enough toilet paper, hand sanitizer and cash. There are stops where you can buy snacks, water, and coffee. Although the instructions say to bring 4 liters of water, I don’t think that’s completely necessary. If you are a heavy water drinker, definitely bring it. Otherwise, 2 liters is more than enough. You can always buy more if you need to. Make sure you have enough phone battery for pictures and videos of the wonderful views. You are there 2 days, so a power bank is very useful. Bring 2 layers of warm clothes (including socks) for the night, it’s extremely cold. If you don’t have hiking shoes, it would be a good idea to rent them. The terrain is rocky and with gravel at times, becoming slippery because it’s steep. It’s a wonderful experience!
