  • If you’re traveling Guatemala and are looking for things to do in Guatemala and are up for a heart pumping adventure hiking up Volcán Acatenango is a great option. Volcano Acatenango is located around an hour from Antigua and starts at an elevation of 2,400 m. In this Guatemala Travel Vlog I will take you through my entire experience of hiking Volcan Acatenango, all the ups and the downs, literally! After a 5 hour hike straight up we reach base camp which is located at 3,600 meters. It’s here where we rest, take in the views of Volcán Fuego and sleep for the night before ascending to the peak of Acatenango for sunrise, 3,976 m (13,044 feet). This hike was the hardest physical activity I have ever completed and I will be honest there were many times I wanted to turn back around but knowing you were there with me kept me going! I hope this Acatenango Guatemala video helps you out when you’re planning your trip to Guatemala! #guatemala #acatenango

    I usually don’t comment on RUclips videos 🙃 but watching your video really touched my heart and in a sense I related to you, plus I cried along with you. I loved how you were so transparent about your panic attack and how challenging this adventure was, yet you still had the courage to fight those fears and to persevere. I,too, suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, and it’s precisely those darn fears that occasionally hold me back in enjoying my life. I lost my mom several years ago and my doggy a couple of weeks ago and this video reminded me so much of them, and how much I would love to do something like this in dedication to them. What you did, taking your sister with you was beautiful and inspiring. I’m so proud of you! You are definitely a warrior girl 💪🏽. Your videos are so fun to watch, you and Adam are adorable 😊! Blessings to the both of you ❤

    Heidi you had my wife and I both in tears, We have been watching and using you guys to guide us through our journey in Mexico. I remember about 2 years ago my wife found you guys on RUclips and I was calling you the smiling guy’s, and you grew on me. We were just saying of all the people we follow you two are the ones we would like to sit down with and have lunch and hang out. Seeing you tear up climbing the mountain hit us hard because we have been traveling for 6 months,we miss our families and friends especially when your out on your own without your partner you feel lost and alone. That’s me barely know Spanish asking myself what am I doing here? Stay strong Adam give her a good massage…Safe Travels

    What an amazing experience! The atmosphere must have been overwhelming seeing and hearing that volcano going off. Very brave of you to have done this on your own. I remember when I was 16 I hiked up and down the Grand Canyon with 5 other girls and 2 teachers in a day (24 miles round trip) and I felt like every bone in my body was broken the next morning and my feet were bloody. But I can't imagine doing something like that with such high altitude too. Almost nothing will seem like an obstacle to you now after having accomplished that. Congrats! 🍾🥂

    FABULOUS VlDEO ! WOW Heidi.. l'm SO impressed ! GREAT JOB ! l don't think l could've handled that even though l live in the mountains of New England ! lt was smart for Adam to sit this one out. l cried when you scattered your sister's ashes.. very beautiful. All the while l was making myself tortillas covered with refried beans, guacamole, baby shrimp, scallops, grilled chicken, grilled onions and peppers and Cholula hot sauce. YUM ! ( l am a seasoned armchair explorer ! ) Thank you for making that possible !!!

    This video made me want to go even more to Antigua and up this mountain and I found a great small business to support also. I have to admit at the end was really hard and made me tear up but, I am glad you did that for your sister. Thank you for the aspiring video

    I went back packing up Mount Robson in B.C Canada. I found walking with a stick harder. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, amazing video! Thank you! 😊💓
