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 Amazing Hike & Camping with Kids What an amazing hike / camping trip!

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!

If you want more info, I did a full writeup on our experience, tips, and packing list on my blog, Savvy Exploring.The Company - This company is owned by an expat from the United States who does a lot of outreach in the communities and works exclusively with locals to staff his tours. Most of the guides are private contractors and we heard a lot of good things about him from them.Customer Service - They were fantastic at communicating through WhatsApp! When we were in Guatemala they usually replied within minutes and it was really nice to have someone there to ask about things when we were on our own. We had a little trouble with emails going through.Our Guides & Staff - The trek guides were the best we have had. Juan Pablo (JP) and Diego had great personalities and were very knowledgeable about the area. They were the kind of people who were there to make sure you were safe, tried the best to make sure you were enjoying yourself, and were also the kind of people you could relax and have a real conversation with.The staff were more peripheral, but were working hard behind the scenes to make the magic happen. There was a core group that were assisted every day by a group of locals from whatever village we were staying in. The local guide we had was not super involved and the other one didn’t show.Accommodations - The tents were very well thought out and really luxurious for a trek. The beds were the tall inflatable kind with electric pumps, but we had a bit of trouble with them deflating. 2 nights were good, but one night we swapped beds (our tent had 2) halfway though the night when we woke nearly on the ground and others had similar issues. When they were inflated, to me, the beds were more comfortable than any of the hotel beds we had.They had lots of attention to detail and small conveniences like a mirror in each tent, wet wipes, lanterns, a night stand, a clothes line outside, and an entry mat. Each bed was fitted with a thermal reflective blanket under the sheets to help us stay warm and lovely down blankets. We also got hot water bottles every night, which made a huge difference.Food - The food was excellent and they had a totally different menu each day. They even customized the menu slightly to accommodate different preferences, like brown rice and whole wheat pasta for one couple in our group. Usually breakfast would be tea, coffee, some variation of eggs, and a selection of other things like bread, fruit, yogurt, etc. Before we set off we would get a piece of fruit and a packaged snack for the day. Our guides would carry lunch for everyone which was pasta salad with sides two days, and customizable wraps/burritos the other two. Every night there would be some kind of fresh juice and appetizers, then a dinner (always with a nice green salad, a meat, rice, some veggie, and other sides), and then some kind of sweet dessert. One night the cook roasted some delicious eggplant and other things over the camp fire! read less A wonderful time with Trek Guatemala! We had a wonderful time with Trek Guatemala!

They arranged to have a driver pick us up at the airport in Guatemala City and drop us off with our guide, Diego. They took our bags up the mountain by truck and we hiked 2 hours to get the base camp. There are stairs about 2/3 of the way up, then you walk on a drivable path to base camp. My phone said it was about 50 flights and about 4 miles. The tent and beds were already set up, there was wonderful food, drinks, and fellowship. At night it gets. Old so they built a fire for us and put hot water bottles in the beds- that was wonderful! The views are fantastic and you can see and hear Feugo Volcano erupting! So cool. The breakfast was perfect and the chef made us snacks to go. My husband and I loved our time with Trek Guatemala! read less Absolutely Amazing Experience!!!! This was absolutely amazing!

This small group was much more pleasurable than some of the groups of a dozen or more we saw. Our guide, Juan Pablo, was top notch! I cannot recommend him enough! He was knowledgeable and did a great job of seeing us to the top. The food was home-made and the tents were set up for us, with sleeping bags and mats already laid out. Juan Pablo did such a great job answering our questions and teaching us about hiking steep trails. This was great for me because I live at sea level on flat ground!
