Acatenango Volcano 4×4 Jeep Tour

Acatenango Volcano 4×4 Jeep Tour

Please Note that this is not a tour from Flore Hostel. We work with Explora Agency for this particular tour.

If you want to experience the beauty of Acatenango and Fuego Volcano and for personal or health reasons you are not able to hike we can offer you an alternative option. Our 4×4 jeep tour takes adventure seekers up Acatenango Volcano to a point near to the campsites. This type of tour removes many strenuous sections of the hike for a more comfortable experience to view the sights and sounds of Fuego Volcano.

For many people, this hike is seen as secondary to the cobblestone streets of Antigua, but for us it is a MUST for anyone who passes through. This promises to be one of the best tours you do on your trip. This challenging but beautiful trek takes you up one of the highest Volcanoes in Guatemala where you will camp at almost 4,000m with a spectacular view of the very active Volcano Fuego.

We work with the local community, we have 14 amazing guides that are certified by INGUAT (Local Tourism Office in Guatemala) By doing the trek with us you are contributing to the development of La Soledad since the trek is the main source of income for a lot of families in this area.
