Central America · 2 days · 10.5 miles · Guatemala
In December 2020 I hiked Acatenango, the volcano above Antigua in Guatemala, on my own: up from La Soledad through the farms and the forest to the summit for sunset, round the crater rim looking across at Fuego, and down in the dark to the base camp facing it, where Fuego erupted all night. It's the trip from my film Hiking to Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala. This guide has my GPS files, maps and notes for both days, where things stand in 2026 after Fuego's August eruption, the fee, guides and the new rules, getting to La Soledad from Antigua, the cold and what I should have carried, and a trip sheet.
