Tough 2-day Acatenango hike from Antigua. Sleep high in the cold, watch El Fuego, then chase sunrise and big cloud-top views.
“Amazing experience, one in a lifetime for sure. The guides could have been much better. None of them spoke a single word in english and you could not see them most of the time. Besides that, great experience.”
Two days hiking Acatenango from Antigua, camping by Fuego to watch eruptions, and sunrise summit views, with meals and gear.
“Abner was really the best guide you could ask for. Very patient and informative. The views were worth every step of the way. (The food wasn’t my favorite so I would recommend bringing extra snacks.)”
Two days hiking Acatenango from Antigua with included gear and meals, sunrise on top, and optional night hike toward active Fuego.
“The experience itself was amazing, however the company was not clear about a few things: you get given 2L of water at the start of the hike, and you have to give 1L of it at the basecamp to get tea and coffee. Additionally, you carry a frozen lasagna with you, which is then heated up, mine was mostly cold. The guides were good, but they kept on walking ahead and there were moments where I felt I was left behind, especially in the dark. However, it was an amazing experience, I would really recommend the experience to anyone who doesn't mind a physical challenge and a bit of cold.”

2-day Acatenango and Fuego hike from Antigua with camp eruption views, sunrise at 3,976 meters, provided gear, and an optional Fuego add-on.
“AMAZING. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. Everything went smoother than expected. The provided gear and rental gear was in great condition. 4x4 ride was a blast, hike to camp was easy. Loved the fuego hike. Although we had one girl who clearly could not make it and the guide kept trying to help her up (eventually she had to give up) which held us up from seeing sunrise at top. Food was delicious, the cabins were awesome. We were provided a sleeping pad and bag (no pillow so if you need one bring one!) 10/10 amazing. Once in a lifetime experience”
2-day kayak and hike around Lake Atitlan from Antigua. Small group, gear and guide included, Mayan villages, optional extra night.
“This was an excellent excursion. Los Elementos, Elaine and Lee, are great hosts. Our guide Alex was Mayan and got us into Mayan villages while hiking. We actually went in homes and saw first hand how the villagers live. He was an excellent guide, quite helpful to us on the hikes and kayaking. we are 59 and 60, you have to be physically fit to do the kayak and hiking, it is beautiful but strenuous. Alex helped all the time and adapted the second day to our capabilities. Cliff diving into the cool clear water, hiking unbelievable trails along the lake, and kayaking the clear blue waters. We have already…”
