• Acatenango

    October 6, 2022 in Guatemala ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    Hiking on the volcano Acatenango was so far one of the best experiences we had here. We woke up in the morning and hitchhiked to the village Soledad, we waited for Tiffany and Erwan who had some troubles on the way. Around 11:30 we started walking up. Most of the other people was walking with a guide. It was definitely manageable without as the way was very clear.
    Around 16 we got to the basecamp where we build our tent. Most of the time it was quite foggy there but as we got up, we got a beautiful view and the Volcan fuego and Aqua and all the villages around.
    In the evening we made a "small" hike to the volcan fuego, which was much harder then expected, but we got a beautiful view on the volcano flushing lava every 20 minutes.
    In the morning we woke up around 4a.m. to hike up to Acatenango to see the sunrise. Unfortunately we got little bit lost on the way.
    When we got up, the view was really amazing.
