Thank you so much for sharing your experience in Guatemala. You and your friends are welcome any time you wanna come back, there are so many other beautiful places to visit. Acatenango is TOUGH; my son, my husband and I went camping by ourselves back in March. So challenging but totally worth it. Love your video, very informative.
Mr. Yang awesome upload and edit. What were you wearing underneath your arcteryx beta? Im doing this trip next month so I want to make sure I have the essentials but not overpack. Thanks from a fellow cdn!
Hey @liamliam7191 - thanks for the awesome feedback :) I was wearing either just a t-shirt (near the bottom of the mountain where it was hotter), or a light down jacket (at the top where it was colder). I'd definitely say layering is really important as the temperature changes pretty dramatically even between when you're moving vs not moving.
Hey @DhruvChand! Thanks for watching :) yes I'm from the PNW (Vancouver BC). If we're talking comparable in terms of difficulty, there definitely are similar in terms of length and steepness, but not in terms of elevation. The elevation of Acatenango made this one really challenging and is what gave most of us altitude sickness after the hike (and probably exhaustion). There definitely isn't anything here that compares in terms of the Volcanic show!
Hi! Thank you for the video. Question about the size of your group or the average size of the group. Also how much more is it to pay to hike el Volcán de fuego?
Hi @yarisngpang3957!! the tour group we were hiking with was a size of around 20 people and about 5 guides so the ratio was pretty good :) it was around $120 CAD per person
Hey Yavuztravel!! Thanks man :) yeah a light rain jacket was enough for us, it wasn't that bad in January for us... might need more in the rainy season though

Beautiful
thank you!!!
GREAT video and footage, thanks! I see the PNW - are tehre any comparable hikes in the area that you'd say Acatenango compares to?

Verry cool video bro! Which jacket would be enough what did u experience? Like after a few layers is a rain jacket enough?
Did you like it so much that you would return? You missed many wonders to discover in Guatemala 🇬🇹 ❤
I know there's so much more to explore!! We'll definitely be going back

hello, What month did you go?
@SalvatoreLaFragola I went in January of 2024!!
Is it clear if I film a volcanic eruption with my phone?
@an89dy1 in the daytime yes for sure! At night, it would be harder since it's so far but the photos we got (shown in the video) were all from phones!
