Juan Pablo was so friendly, informed us about everything in detail and was super caring. We were a small group and could enjoy nature to ourselves while the other groups were very big and noisy. When we arrived at the basecamp our camp was already set up, so we could watch Fuego without any distraction. We enjoyed our trip so much and would definitely book again with Trek Guatemala.

We were pleasantly surprised to say the least from beginning to end. There was always clear communication since the time we booked our experience. Matt and Tomas can answer any logistical questions before your trip. This was our first time in Guatemala and they have helped us tremendously from airport to hotel pick-up and drop-off. They even stored our extra luggage safely while we were on our trek. Everyone we’ve interacted with that works with Trek Guatemala was friendly and welcoming. As a visitor with very limited Spanish, it did not get in the way of feeling safe and accommodated by the staff whether directly or indirectly. If you’re thinking of doing this, book a private tour and request Mario AKA Papcito to be your guide. You won’t regret it. With his guidance it also felt like we were doing the hike on our own. You have pockets of privacy, explore on further on your own and take photos and soak in the views. Mario is excellent in answering ANY question about the land, people and culture. He’s the man. We were happy we didn’t book with a group of others. We observed bigger groups on the trail and they seem all over the place, distracted, and most importantly leave a lot of trash and litter on the trail. Mario is so kind and picks up litter, knows about every other guide as a good friend. The interactions we see he has will make you want to be his best friend too. The other raves about Mario are true to the core. Despite the heavy clouds in the night, it was all made up for when we trekked up the Acatenango peak and caught an unforgettable sunrise. The views during our descent was even more breathtaking. The skies had cleared and we could see ALL the volcanoes around us as bright as day sitting on a cloudy bed. We’ll never forget what we saw. JUST DO IT!!! 20 starts out of 10. Thank you Trek Guatemala ️ read less Magnificent views, a once in a lifetime experience!

The group turned out to be just myself and my husband so it was a very personal tour and we had fantastic luck with the weather. The transfer to and from the start of the trek was hassle free. From the the time of booking we were given lots of information and a comprehensive list of things to bring which was very helpful. I would highly recommend porters as we still carried 6L of water between us plus our clothes which was heavy enough. You definitely need 50/60L back packs and warm clothes as it is very cold at the camp and freezing at the summit. We were provided with poles which are a must, especially at the summit, and when descending. It helps to be a bit fit but the altitude can still get to you so try to arrive few days earlier to better acclimatise. The campsite had amazing views as we sat and ate our hearty and delicious meal by the campfire with a cheeky glass of wine. The tent and sleeping bags were good but the long drop toilet was precariously situated at the end of the terrace and not pleasant even compared with the other loos along the trail. Juan Pablo made the trip truly memorable with his cheerful and knowledgeable guidance. With magnificent views of Volcan de Fuego erupting through the night, we would definitely recommend this trek for a once in a lifetime experience. read less Superb Antigua to Atitlan trek.

His enthusiasm and encouragement alone were invaluable- we honestly couldn’t have done it without him! It was an experience of a lifetime and I’m so happy we did it with a company who prioritized our individual needs, safety, and overall enjoyment!

Most people do the hike over 2 days but due to time constraints, we did it in one day. Make no mistake, this hike is very hard. It is maybe less than 1% flat and the rest of the time you are on an incline of at least 45°. But Trekking Guatemala and Juan Pablo made it possible for us to make it all the way up and all the way down safely and with a lot of encouragement. We had previously booked with OX Expeditions but they required at least 4 people to run the hike, and we were the only ones signed up. Trekking Guatemala has no minimum, were extremely fast in their responses to inquiries, and provided us everything we needed for the trip. Our guide gave us trekking poles (a must), prepared a fantastic homemade lunch, and had extra snacks, warm layers, and head lamps for us if we needed. This was the most physically demanding activity I have ever done, taking almost 11 hours start to finish, but Trekking Guatemala and Juan Pablo made it the best experience it could be. read less Guatemalan hiking The Trek was incredible.

The food was delicious, his knowledge was on point. We had a group of 10 with 5 kids ages 12-15. The hike is tough but we all powered through. Can't speak highly enough of Trek Guat, our contact and organizer, Thomas and our Guide Mario (aka Papito)! And last but not least, the porters were amazing. Overall, a life changing experience. Sure, we were sore for a few days afterwards but it was worth it. Spectacular views of erupting Volcan Fuego and the sunrise views from the summit are out of this world. read less Great views, you don’t want to miss the sunrise!

The acatenango overnight hike was tough, I was nervous about the altitude and even felt a little sick at one point and our guides Tomas and Jaime genuinely cared and helped me out, and kept us all entertained and motivated. It was the perfect small group, they provided everything we needed, delicious food, and sleeping gear. And to top it all off, everyone working with the company we encountered was so so kind and helpful! I would recommend this tour to anyone, and definitely will go with them again on my next adventure in Guatemala. Thanks again! read less Great views, you don’t want to miss the sunrise!

Our Acatenango group and a wide range of hiking abilities and our guides did a good job of pacing the group and we all made it to the top. Would definitely recommend this tour company! read less
