In addition to the Acatenango hike, we are offering an add-on hike that compliments the original hike.
FUEGO HIKE (EXTRA Q200): In addition to the Acatenango hike, we are offering an
add-on hike that compliments the original hike. After you reach the Acatenango basecamp, we go to the Fuego Volcano summit for sunset in
order to be as close as 150m to the exploding crater, with its beautiful and unique view*.
The hike is harder as it adds 4-5 hours of round trip hike. You are required to be at the basecamp by 3 pm for departure.
This addition to the tour costs an extra Q200. Why?
1• Because we change the route completely to another volcano.
2• Is the fee that our guides charge us to take you there,
it's an extra tour and extra service they provide to the company.
No rush on deciding if you want to hike to Fuego when you book, you can decide if you are going when you reach our basecamp, and if you go to Fuego Volcano you will have to pay the Q200 the next day when you come back to our agency in Antigua. Our minimum to make the tour run is 4 people.
