• Best experience of my life

  This was without a doubt one of the best experiences of my life, largely thanks to our incredible guides, Joshua and Carlos. We chose the 4x4 option, which I highly recommend as it saves energy for the hikes around Acatenango Volcano and Volcán de Fuego. If you’re lucky enough to ride in the back of the pickup, it’s a fun bonus, just make sure to hold on tight! After the 4x4 ride, we hiked about an hour to basecamp, where Joshua had prepared a fantastic lunch. In the evening, we did the Fuego hike (not included in the price), and it was absolutely worth it, honestly a must-do. Watching the sunset and then staying to see the lava eruptions in the dark was unforgettable. It gets very cold, though, so bring more layers than you think you’ll need… and then a bit more 🥶 On the way back, I struggled with altitude sickness, which made the hike really tough. Carlos was amazing, patient, supportive, and even saved me with altitude sickness medication. Back at basecamp, Joshua once again delivered an incredible meal, this time spaghetti bolognese with red wine. The cabins were cozy and surprisingly warm, making for a great night’s sleep. The next morning, we had planned to hike for sunrise at Acatenango, but due to rain we decided to stay at camp. Breakfast was simple but really enjoyable. Overall, I have absolutely nothing to complain about, the entire trip exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this experience. The guides were kind, fun, professional, and genuinely made the trip unforgettable.

  

  

  

• Fuego & Acatenango was Insane!

  Our Acatenango & Fuego volcano trip was an unforgettable experience and very well organized from start to finish. We were driven up by pickup 4x4 to the parking area, which made the beginning easy, and from there the short hike to base camp was both scenic and enjoyable. The views were incredible, and seeing Fuego erupt was something we will never forget. A special thanks to Churros for the fantastic food and excellent driving, both were outstanding. Carlos was also a wonderful companion throughout the trip: friendly, helpful, and great to be around. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Guatemala and looking for a truly memorable adventure.

• Unforgettable experience with an amazing team

  We had such an incredible experience on this tour. Joshua is amazing—his cooking was honestly one of the highlights, so delicious and thoughtful. Carlos is such a sincere and kind person, and the whole team really takes care of you throughout the entire trip, always making sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and having a great time. You can really tell they care about their guests and go above and beyond to make the experience special. We also heard from friends that other groups can be quite large and involve a lot of waiting, so we’re especially glad we chose this team—it felt much more personal and smooth. Highly recommend!

• Joshua was the best tour guide ever!

  I feel like I lucked out with having Joshua as my tour guide and having CA Travellers as the tour company. The hike up was great, the cabins were cold but cozy. Lunch, dinner and breakfast were all delicious and had plenty of food. Highly recommend!!!

  The hike was demanding but very beautiful. The weak point is accommodation: 6 people in a small cabin. Moreover, to do it again I would have brought my own food (not enough food provided).

  

  

  

  

  

• Markup fake operator

  Heads up to anyone looking at this booking: the company listed here isn't actually running the tour. They’re essentially a middleman adding a massive markup for no reason. I found out the hard way that the real operator is Brothers Expeditions. Most of the people in our group (there were over 50 of us) booked with them directly and paid way less than the price shown here. This page seems to just "skim off the top" without adding any actual value to the trip. The tour itself is pretty basic. Honestly, there are plenty of other options out there with better guides and nicer accommodations. If you really want this specific itinerary, do yourself a favor: book directly with Brothers Expeditions and save your money. It’s frustrating that platforms allow these inflated price traps to stay up.

• Don’t book this here, book way cheaper with an operator in Antigua

  Like other reviewers, I can only warn people to not book your Acatenango hike through this company. They use Brothers Expedition who would be a whole lot cheaper when booked through them directly. I still had to pay park entrance fee to them even though it was supposedly included in my 129USD fee (which is wayyyy more than the rest of my group paid). The hike itself is good but Brothers were quite bad. They didn’t hand out coats to everyone, they had people pay for uncharged head torches, the hiking poles I rented were faulty, we had to wait super long all the time (especially when hiking up and down El Fuego which had to be aborted due to bad weather) and when we returned to the camp at night (we were all soaking wet) it took them almost an hour to give us dinner and even longer to light a fire (which was finally on at 11pm when we all were in / going to bed). The worst of all was that they use bunk beds that sleep 14 people in total and myself and other short women had to sleep on the top bunk which was IMPOSSIBLE to get in and out of without help from others. After we got back down Acatenango on the second day we waited for ages for the bus to take us back to Antigua. Overall I didn’t think it was worth my money (129 USD + 10USD for poles + 50Q entrance fee + 40USD Fuego hike (which we didn’t complete due to weather)) at all to be waiting all the time and sleeping in an awful bed which made it impossible to get up for the sunrise hike as I couldn’t get out of bed. Like another reviewer said, don’t panic and just book with an operator when you get to Antigua.

• Scam and false advertising, don’t book

  This tour is a scam. It is a scam in that you pay a lot of money to them, but it is not them who organize the tour. They book it themselves trough one of the cheapest providers available. Most people on the tour payed like 45 euro trough their hostel the day before, so don’t be scared of the lack of availability, there is almost always place. Do the hike, BUT DONT BOOK THIS ONE! The hike is pretty cool, it is a shame that some people mislead, scam and overcharge people.

• HIKE ACAT & FUEGO
