WE SLEPT NEXT TO AN ACTIVE VOLCANO (Volcán Acatenango Hike)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2022
- In today's video we did one of our most CHALLENGING hikes ever and go to watch an active volcano erupt right in front of our eyes. One of the craziest experiences of our lives and one of the hardest things we've ever done.
We started on a Friday morning at 7:30 am being picked up from our Airbnb and set off to the town of La Soledad to start our hike. After a 45 minute drive and some instructions, we started the hike up the volcano. The terrain was very extreme and most of the path was just straight up hill which would give any person a good challenge. After about 5 hours of hiking straight up hill we made it to our base camp and watched the volcano erupt for the first times, but WE HAD NO IDEA how crazy it would be at night. Lava was spewing everywhere as soon as the sun set and we got to see this beast of a volcano in action. We have never seen anything like it.
After a horrible night's sleep we hiked another 1 hour to the summit to get the beautiful views from the top and to watch the sunrise over the mountains and volcanoes.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND OUR GUIDE HENRY!! He was so funny and an amazing person. He loves taking smaller groups which is a much more personal experience and we had so much fun.

Uufff it must be a challenge for anyone to do that hiking.
The views were BREATH TAKING. This land has been gifted with beauty and we thank you for sharing it to others. And sharing all the lovely small details of your journey.

Excelente video y una experiencia impresionante, nunca lo hice y nunca lo haré subir a ese volcán, solo al Pacaya, pero me alegro que lo hayan hecho y que les haya ido de maravilla. Espero que sigan pasando una gran estadía en Guatemala, saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala.
Muchas gracias Walter 😊❤️🇬🇹

Epically beautiful 👌🏽
Thank you so much :)
insane pictures!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
bucket list moment!!
It was😍😍
Wow, what an epic tour, guys! Kudos to you, and better you than us 😂I liked that you asked Henry, "How do we know that we may be in danger of a volcanic eruption," (or, the like). I didn't quite understand Henry's response though. I assume, if a volcano continually spews, it's probably "okay" and not too dangerous as opposed to a volcano that hasn't erupted in decades, and suddenly decides, "It's time!"
😂😂 Yeah we just hoped we would be good to go and danger free!
Great video guys
thanks giovanni 💪🏻 :)
Dope adventure! Cool channel 🤠
Thank you!! We are very glad you enjoy it

The neatest thing about that volcano is that you could see it erupted from anywhere you are. I saw it erupting when I was there zona 15.

Sounds fantastic tremendously great adventure congratulations 🎈 greetings from NYC 🗽
Thank you so much Isaí 😊
I'm glad you were able to see lava and climb to the top of Acatenango.
Rainy season is unforgiven in Guatemala,
and I've seen videos where you can't see anything or climb to the top because of the clouds and rain.
but the tour companies won't tell you that.
Well, thank you for your video.
Yes we have heard that as well 😳 We feel so lucky to have gotten such an amazing, clear view as well as a rainless hike! right after we ate and crawled into the tents it stormed and then happened to stop before morning. We were so lucky!
Wow 😳😳🇬🇹👌 is guatemala
Guatemala es hermosa 😍
Good vídeo thanks me good Guatemala
Thank you daniel!!
Hola I love all your videos about Guatemala, excelent material.
Please try to say Guatemala not Guaremala, to show how much you love our country
Thank you Rodrigo! 🇬🇹 Also I don't understand your comment, did we say Guaremala?
🥺👌🏼
Thanks for watching :)
👍🤗
🎀
👍👍👍👍👍♥️
❤️🙏🏼🇬🇹
Awesome video, you certainly had the weather for the hike. The weather for me was terrible, especially the last third going up to the top, its was gale force winds, my microphone almost got blown off my camera and the footage was barely usable. At least with your video I can see what it was supposed to look like. 🙂
Oh my gosh that sounds terribly hard 😲😳 I couldn’t imagine - I felt like I barely made it in the good weather 😂
@@JourneywithJenandDrew yea, it was really tough, but I kept myself motivated by saying the views will be worth it......and they weren't. But its always about the experience, cant expect perfect weather on every adventure. 🙂
hey, awesome video, thanks for sharing I will be there this march, what company did u book with? when did u do the hike? what month? thanks
Hey Sebastian! Awesome 🙏🏼 We did this hike at the beginning of May and we booked through the link we have in the description
Best of luck & enjoy!!
Are you guys still in Guatemala?
Yes!
@@JourneywithJenandDrew cool! Are you planning on going to the beach or any other places?
For beach locations I recommend: Monterrico (2-3hours away from GCity)
Or try Finca San Cayetano (30 minutes from Antigua) views are spectacular
Thank you so much for these recs 😊 We unfortunately won't have time to visit this time around but have heard really good things about Monterrico
Pues deberían solo Español soy William y de Guatemala los estoy siguiendo ahora es español por fa
Cool to see you do it but just note that "most* visitors don't do it. Very misleading to say that given how intense it is. You definitely require a certain level of fitness to do it. Pacaya is actually the most popular for this very reason.
Totally understand. That was just based on our experience. The majority of the people we talked to did this - granted they are usually young backpackers haha
But yes, super intense. Pacaya is a better fit for some
