Acatenango Volcano Hike
Acatenango Volcano Hike
At Tropicana, we offer guided overnight camping trips to the summit of Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala. Acatenango is one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in Central America. Standing at 3,976 meters (13,045 feet) above sea level, Acatenango is the second highest volcano in the country and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Not only is the hike itself an unforgettable experience, but the summit of the volcano also offers a unique opportunity to see the nearby Fuego volcano, which is known for its frequent eruptions.
