Great hike for an amazing... - Great hike for an amazing chance to see neighboring Fuego volcano erupt. Trek had encouraging guides, delicious food and some of the nicest accommodations at base camp.

Epic experience - My guide was Diego but I also had the opportunity to interact with Andres. They were both awesome! I was the slow one in my group but they never made me feel uncomfortable or rushed. They were encouraging supportive and always made sure that I was safe. The experience…. EPIC! Seeing Fuego erupt from Acatenango’s vantage point was quite the experience. The hike is definitely challenging but choosing this company was a great decision as I watched other people pass me in large groups. Our group was small, which made the experience more intimate and because our group was small everyone was always accounted for. I’m grateful that I did the glamping experience because I really appreciated the privacy and having a cot. I really appreciate that. They easily accommodated my dietary needs as a vegan. Lunch and dinner was also delicious. I did not experience any altitude sickness. My best suggestion would be to pace yourself, drink plenty of water and make sure you get a good rest before starting the hike. If you’re up to it, don’t miss the opportunity to hike to summit.

An experience to remember. - Excellent guides who made sure everyone was comfortable on the hike. Delicious fresh meals served daily. Very comfortable warm beds after a long day of hiking. Hot showers daily. A very personal experience within a group setting.

Incredible trip - Trek Guatemala made our trip to Antigua and Acatenango so special. We knew we picked the right company from the moment we were picked up at the airport, and were proven right at every turn. Andres was an incredible guide, he was really kind, funny, knowledgeable, accommodating, and welcoming.

Unforgettable Experience with TrekGuatemala - This trip was awesome! We’ve hiked mountains in the U.S. before, but this was a whole other experience. A gigantic volcano, Fuego, is eruption literary all day, everyday. And you climb all the way to it. There’s shade by trees, there’s farms you walk passed that grow corn, there’s a restaurant at the beginning with bathrooms. There’s dogs that live on the mountain and will hike with you. Diego from trek Guatemala, our guide, was the best. He’s a freaking beast, he taught me so many good tips and tricks on how to hike better without hurting my muscles, my knees, and I took his advice and it worked! He even helped my gf because she was hurting on a certain muscle on her leg and so he did some icy-hot massaging and she felt so much better. That hike was intense, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. Anyone can do it. There was a bit of crowds at certain points, but you can always separate from them. Or go behind them to slow your pace and take a break! I did the extra Fuego hike with Diego and it was just us 4 guys and you will not believe how much fun it was. Diego showed us how to literally slide down the mountain rocks and gravel like sliding down snow and we made it down and up the other side of Fuego in like 40min. If you’re a thrill seeker, you gotta go with Diego. He’s an ultra marathon runner btw. All the rest of the staff was so courteous, thoughtful and informative, ready to answer any and all questions you may have. They got plenty of gear to rent. We brought our own packs w/bladders, trekking poles, boots, gloves, snacks, but they have all that plus more available. It is def camping, so don’t expect crazy luxury, afterall, you’re chilling with a volcano. Oh, also, Diego took us as far as we could go next to the volcano without being in danger, which was closer than everybody else. The explosions when you’re close to it are incredible. By the time we got back to camp from Fuego, they had a fire going, hot food, hot chocolate, ready for us and it was much needed after a full day of hiking. I would recommend drinking plenty of water the day of, but also like weeks before everyday. So you’re well hydrated. When training for this, focus on controlling your breathing especially when you’re hitting higher heart rates, that’ll help so much to keep pushing when you’re going incline after so many hours and gotta keep going. Have fun!

Experience of a lifetime - bring warm clothes!! - The basecamp is amazing -- views of Fuego erupting every few minutes. The guides were fantastic: knowledgeable, interested and interesting, friendly and excited to share their background and stories. The hike through so many ecosystems was truly phenomenal. We didn't end up summiting (it was so cloudy and windy there would have been no view), but that didn't diminish the experience.
The hike is tough -- both the ascent and the descent -- be prepared!
I was worried about altitude sickness for the 12,000' base camp (with no time to acclimate) but staying hydrated was key and I didn't have too many altitude symptoms.
I had heard how cold it was, but the winds made it extremely cold (note I'm from Vermont and used to -10 degrees F). I slept in all my layers (hiking T, hiking long sleeve, long underwear, fleece, puffer, sleeping bag, gloves) and was still cold. The glamping tent was comfortable, and the shelter and fire were great to gather around with friends.
Overall, this is an experience I will treasure for my whole life.

Constant support, Giannina is the best trail guide we have encountered, indescribable views - I can’t even process how epic our time was on Acatenango. The highlight was our guide - Giannina. She was aware of needs before we were and made our adventure safe and thrilling. We hiked with kids ages 2-11 in a party of 8 and she was able to connect with each, engage us all, and stay in tune with the physical/mental needs of each of us when challenges arose. We also experienced excellent communication prior to our trip. We have a child with specific food needs and were able to discuss ingredients at length. We felt safe stepping into adventure with the intentional care we received prior to stepping off. We had realistic expectations for the intensity of the hike as well as accommodations on the side of a dormant volcano. If you have questions about intensity, accommodations, or accessibility - I believe Trek will support you honestly. It was challenging for each member in our group for different reasons, but the feelings of accomplishment will stay with us forever.

Great Experience - Overall we had an amazing experience. We were a group of 9 individuals.
Right from the beginning, the communication via WhatsApp was great. I had a lot of questions and they were answered promptly.
We used them for shuttles from Guatemala City Airport as well. Shuttles were on time and adequate. They were competitively priced.
The pre trip meeting was very well organized and all the logistics were explained thoroughly.
As far as the hike is concerned, we had an issue with one of the guides (and these things happen). They acknowledged it and went out of their way to fix it. The owner also talked to us after the hike, was very apologetic and made it right for us.
The glamping tents were good and the food was decent. No complaints.
Overall, I would highly recommend them again. If we ever went back to Guatemala we would use their services again.

Unforgettable Acatenango + Fuego Experience with Trek Guatemala (shoutout to BROLO!!!!) - This hike was one of the most physically challenging things I’ve ever done — and also one of the most rewarding. The Acatenango + Fuego trek is no joke, but Trek Guatemala made it an incredible experience from start to finish.
Our guide, Brolo, truly made the trip. His positive energy and encouragement carried us through the tough moments. He was knowledgeable, patient, and constantly checking in on everyone, which made us feel safe, supported, and well-prepared for such a strenuous adventure. Even when we were exhausted and feeling the effects of the altitude, Brolo kept morale high and made the experience genuinely fun.
We felt properly equipped and informed throughout. The views from base camp and from Fuego were unreal — easily a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can’t imagine doing this hike without a guide like Brolo leading the way.
If you’re considering hiking Acatenango / Fuego, Trek Guatemala is a great choice and if you can, ask for Brolo. You’ll be in excellent hands.
