Stunning views, a truly memorable experience - Amazing trip. It was actually my first overnight camping/hiking experience and the guides did a great job accommodating everyone's needs in the group. Views are stunning. The hike is no joke, but there are options to ride a horse up if needed. Loved that gear such as hiking sticks and coats were available as well.

Excellent experience with some very good guides - I thoroughly enjoyed this trip! The guides did an excellent job of balancing the movement of our group. They were intentional in giving us necessary breaks while not allowing us to overstay such breaks. They were also conscious of the various degrees of experience and physical abilities of each group member, often being encouraging versus being harsh or leaving group members behind behind like I've heard other guides with other companies do. The meals provided were more than sufficient and base camp was more than acceptable, particularly after a long hike up the volcano. Finally, the early morning hike up the summit was well worth it! I would highly recommend this particular company and guides to lead you up and down from the volcano!

Excellent guides for a worthwhile experience - The guides were amazing on this tour. The hike is very difficult for inexperienced hikers but the tour guides helped out tremendously for those struggling to finish. The accommodations were what you would expect for sleeping at the top of a mountain. I would highly recommend this company for the tour! The hike (while difficult) is extremely worth it. Make sure you rent the poles!

Hiking LAVA & ACATENANGO - Hiking the Acatenango Volcano is an exhilarating and awe-inspiring experience. The challenge of reaching the summit is rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the active Fuego Volcano in the distance. It’s an adventure that pushes your limits, fills you with adrenaline, and leaves you speechless in the face of nature’s power and beauty

Let's give it a try! - Thanks, it was really great. Benjamin is an excellent guide with 12 years of experience, and the route is not very difficult. Let's give it a try!

MUST DO! - Definitely a must-do if you’re staying in Guatemala. WARNING: this is not a leisurely hike. If you are an inexperienced hiker or not in good health, this might be quite challenging. Several people in groups had to turn back due to the intensity of the hike. Pack extra socks as it might rain. Water proof everything! Extra portable chargers. Otherwise, best tour ever!

Wonderful experience - Such an amazing experience - the views at the top are incredible! Everything was so well organised by the travel agency and the guides were really friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend going with Colonial Travel Agency for anybody looking to hike the volcano.

A experience worth the money - Big thanks to my tour guides Benjamin & Atom. They had all necessary gear for the hike that you can rent. The group was given lunch and dinner to carry for the hike. This hike is challenging, I caught cramps in both legs half way up and Benjamin and Atom did everything in their power to help me work through the discomfort. They were equipped with meds and ointments that help with my cramps. The food provided for lunch and dinner was so tasty and breakfast was made fresh with coffee or tea. The cabin and tents were equipped with clean sleeping bags ☺️. Overall this company is a 10/10 I have no complaints about how this company operates.

Unmissable for adventurers! - Climbing the Acatenango Volcano is a challenging but completely rewarding experience. The hike requires physical endurance, with steep slopes and changing weather, but the views from the top, especially at sunrise and the Volcano of Fire, are spectacular. I recommend wearing warm clothes, proper footwear, moisturizers and energy snacks to maintain energy. Although difficult, the reward is worth every step: an unforgettable natural spectacle.
Unfortunately I went in rainy season and did not see a rash, I recommend it 1000%
