Climbing an ACTIVE Volcano! 🌋 | Fuego and Acatenango Volcanoes, Guatemala
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Guatemala is a land of volcanoes. With 37 total, 3 of which are active. It's hard to miss them towering along the horizon of almost any southern point in the country. Nowhere is this more apparent than around the city of Antigua which lives in the shadow of these mostly sleeping giants. Volcano Acatenango is the third highest volcano in the country rising to 3,976 meters which is over 13,000 feet. Acatenango is unique in that it is joined to a second volcano creating a volcano complex called La Horqueta. The volcano it is joined to is still active, and known as, volcán de Fuego. Fuego is known for consistently spewing ash and rock about every 15 to 20 minutes. It's last major eruption was as recent as 2018 when an eruption caused a massive landslide burying a village and killing 25 people. The two peaks sit across from one another joined at the hip by a saddle of lava rock and ash.
Come climb these two impressive volcanoes with us in an unforgettable bucket list adventure!

Thanks for watching "Climbing an ACTIVE Volcano! 🌋 | Fuego Volcano and Acatenango Volcano, Guatemala"
This hike was so amazing on so many levels. As you'll see I was overcome emotionally several times. What's on your "Bucket List"?
The best video I have seen of the Acatenango and Fuego volcanoes. The route, the descriptions that Jon makes, the landscapes and the wonderful images they captured, as well as the reactions of amazement and admiration before so much natural beauty. Congrtulations to the stars Jon and Emma !!!
Thanks for the comment 😀 It was an incredible adventure!
Honestly, one of the best videos about Acatenango and Fuego that I've seen. Very detailed, great comments and advice.; and beautifully edited!
Wow, thank you! Appreciate the comment.
What an amazing video!!! It’s like been there with you, love it
Thank you very much for visiting my country, I hope you can come back soon 💙
Amazing video, thank you so much for your visit
One of the coolest experiences I have seen you do what a cool exciting time!
It was incredible
And...do you know what a pyroclastic flow is?
Let me give you a clue: it's what instantly mummified the people of Pompeii.
Okay definitely on my bucket list!
This video should be nominated for a Oscar as best documentary piece.
Just brilliant.
This was the best Acatenango footage that I've seen so far, especially from the ridge! Great videography and shots and got lucky with the weather it seems! The rocksteady in the DJI Osmo really does a good job while climbing down haha. How come you didnt fly your drone at the ridge? The summit looked too windy to launch, but the ridge looked calm.
Thanks! The ridge was deceptive as far as the wind. There was a very strong airflow just 20 feet ovehead. We watched another guy take off with his drone and lose it almost immediately as it blew off and crashed into the mountainside. I would have loved to have flown that evening though.
I travel to Guatemala alot and this is on my bucket list and after seeing your video it looks so amazing!!! I see that OX expeditions has different volcano packages did you do the overnight or double whammy????
We did the Double Whammy. You can actually decide when you get up there. We booked the overnight and then when we got up decided we wanted to go the extra distance. It was worth it.
Guatemala: Land of volcanoes :)
WOW!! What an experience..
I love your video, nice editing... I was captivated..
Incredible! The shots of the volcano erupting at the top are AMAZING! 👏🏼
Another superb video catching so many moments and images that would still burn in your mind, months after the event.
This is amazing ...did you do the Double Whammy tour?.
Yes the Double Whammy. It was a hard hike but so worth it.
Beautiful
De los mejores videos que he visto del volcán Acatenango, edición, música, tomas y sobre todo se ve que lo disfrutaste. Te felicito.
¡Muchas gracias por su comentario!
Will be there at the start of the month how long is the hike ?
It took us about 3 hours to base camp and another hour and a half to the knife ridge. After camping the night summiting Acatenango is maybe another hour or so.
Amazing!
Definitely recommend my home country🇬🇹 it’s absolutely beautiful .❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹 Wow that’s amazing 🌋 we have our own Mount Everest in my Country. Thank you guys🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌋 The view is amazing you guys made it totally breathtaking.
We agree! Guatemala is incredible!
Very nice vlog. I enjoyed the tour. Thanks my new friend. Stay connected. Full support
I love your passion for the experience.
This looks amazing. Im planning on doing this later in the year. I have a question on gear! What packs were you both using?
The packs we used were both provided by the outfitter (Ox Expeditions). They weren't anything special and were pretty old. I think one was a Jansport brand. They were 50 or 60 liter packs, which is honestly excessive for an overnight trip. They were mostly empty. Have an awesome trip!
It is so hard. People were crying/gasping for air many of them fell it was freezing during night but I will do it again just this time i would be prepare with the adequate clothes shoes and physically fit to manage.
Beautiful video from Guatemala volcanoes, so impressed with the beauty of mother nature, thank you for showing my country, well done!!
Our pleasure! Guatemala is an amazing country!
Thank you so much for share your adventure and information God bless you both!! Continue living 100%!!! I'm going to be there in two weeks... do you have the tour agency inf? I will appreciate it
Thanks for watching! The tour agency is Ox Expeditions. They run out of Antigua and are really great. Enjoy Guatemala.
@@OurMillionAdventures thank you!
Sure thing! Enjoy and have a safe climb!
What month did you guys go? We are going, but we’re looking for the right month to go.
thanks...your video made me cry
Hermoso video 📷,,✌️🇬🇹
This has been on my bucket list for the past 2 years and hopefully next year I can get it done. Is there any danger with fuego having a massive eruption and afecting the people at Acatenango?
I hope you have the opportunity! As far as the danger, it could happen. The guides are pretty well tuned in with what looks normal with Fuego, so I think they would be able to read the signs if there were any. Obviously you can't ever fully predict nature though. On the knife ridge and Acatenango you are close enough that a major eruption would be pretty catastrophic I imagine. Pyroclastic clouds move so quickly you'd have little time to do much.
Our Million Adventures thank you for the info and your reply. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely beautiful!
How much is the entrance to the volcano? And the tour??
Totalmente increíble!
Gracias muchachos!
Park entry fee was around 15$ USD and the tour was 129$ per person.
Exceptional video. This was well put together and very informative. What kind of camera did you use? I have a sony ar1 but would be SCARED to bring it.
I brought a Sony a6000, and a goPro. To be honest I wouldn't have been sad to lose the Sony. I need an excuse to get the a7siii 😉
This is an outstanding video, I liked your voice, but what. I liked the most was watching my country's volcanoes, I never in a million years would have hiked those volcanoes. Congratulations for a work well done,keep up the good stuff rolling.
Thanks for watching 😁
The cloud Forrest is amazing, all the green tree trunks and the mist. I hiked this last Wednesday 15th September & im doing it again the following Wednesday!
Agreed! That was my favorite part of the hike.
Hi, this is amazing... Where did you book this guided trek? I will be in Guatemala in two weeks and your video makes me wanna do this too ❤️
You can book them through the Ox Expeditions website or in person in Antigua. Enjoy your time in Guatemala!
Incredible video!! One of the best I’ve seen, so far. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
awesome, thanks for sharing it, do u remember how long is the walk hike from base camp to Fuego volcano just to see the lava, before you went to sleep ? thanks
It was about two hours one way if I remember well.
Como !! Que el volcán de fuego les dió la bienvenida regalandoles un espectáculo que maravilloso será estar ahí observando la naturaleza en todo su esplendor
La verdad que sí! Fue increíble 😁
Pretty amazing little adventure you've gone on. I'm rather envious. Must have been totalamente amazing.
With all that said, are you familiar with the catastrophe that happened with people visiting an active volcano in NZ by boat? It was like 13 dead in an areas that people actively visited for volcanism adventurism.
I'm not kidding...I think it's seriously cool to go to those areas...but how much would I risk for those that go there with me as the guide?
In Hawaii, it's pretty cool to go around those areas, and I'll tell you why: there are professional seismologists that are actively monitoring those areas for volcanic forecasting. And, therefore, one will get a lot of warning concerning a volcanic eruption.
Not so much outside of the explicit US.
Let me clarify. I would do such a hike solo without hesitation.
With others...no!
No way, absolutely not. It's not safe.
As long as I had my will in good order.
🌋💒❤️🧡💛💚💓❤️🔥
Awesome video! I'm getting ready to release a video from my experience. We weren't so lucky with the clouds covering up most of the explosions, and when we got on the ridge of el Fuego we almost get swept off it!
Hey mate,
I’m heading here soon! What time of the year did you go?
@@tynanroussety917 i went right around new years! I have a video on my channel as well so you can see the whole experience! I can also get you in touch with a guide!
The best video I ever see
Wow you were so closed! Amazing video
Thanks! It was an amazing experience!
Were you a runner or climber before this trip ?
I'm definitely not a runner. I enjoy mountain climbing though.
El video más lindo que e visto bendiciones saludos desde Atlanta
Gracias!

Omg 😱 tank you guys for visiting my country
El video mas lindo que hev
gracias!
Omg your video is amazing 👏 😍 💖
Loved the video! Quick question how did you feel the crime and covid conditions were when you were there? Thinking of taking a trip. Thanks!
Thanks! Covid wasn't a thing when we were there, it started a few months later. As far as crime we never had any issues and never felt unsafe. There is crime in Guatemala City but Antigua and Panajachel where we stayed are very safe.
Hi! Great videos, really enjoying following along -- we are a California couple who just transplanted to San Cristobal, we live 3 blocks from the historic center -- our third time in San Cris, love it so much -- would love to meet up for coffee if you are based out of SC
Oh awesome! Glad you are enjoying the videos! We aren't in San Cristobal right now. We left when covid hit. We will likely be back but probably not till next year. We will have to connect when we are back in the area!
@@OurMillionAdventures Awesome, stay safe -- we can't get enough of your cute little kiddos -- Your videos are so, so helpful in breaking down some of the popular destinations in Chiapas. Also really love the puppet show intro for Arcotete.
Excellent video!! 🎉🎉💯💯💯 made me want to cry and climb Acatenango 💕
Glad you enjoyed it! It was an incredible experience.
I love this video! I’m getting ready to go there in early August. What time of year did you go?
It was January or February
I miss Guatemala
Me too!
wow omg, the best video, omg so amazing adventure, i wish to be there some day.....
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best hiking ever!!!
What month was this? Trying to travel with my family
January of 2020, almost a year ago.
What camera did you use for your filming?
primarily the Sony A6000 and DJI Osmo Action. You can see my full gear list in the video description.
Beautiful video! so touching!
Thank you so much!
This is for SURE on my bucket list now!
It definitely should be! We should all go hike it together when Covid gets under control
Amazing
Awesome!! 😯😯😯😯
Magnificent, great, awesome!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Unreal! That was awesome!
