The Acatenango Overnight Journey often takes the spotlight in many travelers’ exploration of Central America. Even though it’s a considerable and demanding trek, the exclusive experience of camping outdoors with a panoramic view of Fuego Volcano is genuinely captivating.
We outdo ourselves by ascending this volcano more frequently than all our competitors combined, come rain or sunshine. Our expert guides and organized systems diligently manage the unpredictable elements of nature to offer a top-notch experience. It’s the minutiae that counts. We aim for every adventurer to have a pleasant trip, regardless of where the exploration leads us. Packing an additional punch, we demonstrate a significant concern for our environment. Some may see it as old-fashioned, but we take pride in our no trace policy; we carry our equipment up and take everything back down. By trekking in this manner, we preserve the delicate volcanic ecosystem that we treasure dearly.
