Pacaya Volcano Overnight Tour from Antigua

We had the best guides (Jerry and Ronaldo) for our overnight stay on Acetenango. Fuego had just just erupted so we couldn't do that hike but the morning hike to the summit of Acetenango although exhausting was incredible. I would want to get myself in better shape and do something similar again for sure!

This is an excellent, smaller group tour to stay overnight on Acatenango, with Fuego visible from your tent. Great food, excellent guides & porters and a fantastic camping location. Our group naturally broke into 2 smaller groups - a faster one & slower - & each group had an excellent guide which made it safe, inclusive & enjoyable. We saw larger groups with a smaller ratio of guides & we saw someone get altitude sickness without her guide in sight. Also people turning around & not making it up to the top - our guides were always nearby & on the lookout for signs of fatigue or altitude sickness. Our guide, Vini, was entertaining & knowledgeable, with lots of positive energy & great photography skills. A highly recommended tour.

We travelled up in 4x4s which was hilarious. Your guides are talented drivers! This was my best experience in Guatemala. My brother was taken ill an hour from camp. Our guides, Abner and Uriel stayed with him whilst another guide, Diego came to let me know and asked me about medication. This promoted me to ask others in our group to ask around camp for an inhaler and Diego allowed me to join him and bring a sleeping back down to my brother. I lit the way home for the rescue party, keeping their spirits high and slowly returning my brother safely to base camp, where an inhaler was waiting for him. We were touched by everyone's kindness, which made our adventure even more special. I stayed outside all night, mesmerised by the changing sky, the firey volcano and shooting stars, and feeling that I was with the greatest humans in the world. Trail shoes will help you grip the slippery gravel, and layer up for the night time temperature drop. Enjoy friendships with everyone in your group and listen to how they see things. A child in our group said 'nature is a gift'. Thank you Urban Outfitters for giving us the opportunity to share the beauty of nature and kindness with each other! The food was great too!
