Tours- Acatenango Day Hike

The trail up Volcan Acatenango has four distinct microclimates, each of which will take you about an hour to traverse. Our first hour of hiking will help you acclimatize and warm up the leg muscles for the day’s hike. The second phase of our ascent passes through the old-growth tropical cloud forests. After exiting the cloud forest, we will be rewarded with fantastic views of the other highland volcanoes, along with glimpses of the Cuchumatanes Mountain chain. Temperate coniferous forests and tropical dry forests characterize the 3rd phase of our ascent, which will lead us to the storm-beaten tree line of the volcano. At the summit, your guide will prepare a fresh, well-earned picnic lunch while you rest and enjoy unparalleled 360-degree views of the Guatemalan highlands. After 30-60 minutes at the top (depending on conditions and time considerations), we will begin our 3-hour descent back towards La Soledad.
