Volcan Acatenango
Volcan Acatenango has an elevation of approx. 3,976 m and is the third-highest peak in Guatemala. It is a dormant volcano with no recorded eruptions since the 1970s. It faces the perpetually active Fuego Volcano across a valley and is located near the ancient city of Antigua, making the starting point for the climb relatively accessible. When visiting, it is common to start from the farmland at the foot of the mountain on the first day, passing through cloud forests and alpine vegetation zones, and camping at a high-altitude campsite at approx. 3,700 m on the mountainside in the evening. The campsite faces Fuego Volcano, and at night, you can often see the fire and smoke rising from the crater opposite; before dawn, you make the final push to the summit from the campsite to catch the sunrise. On clear days, you can overlook Volcan de Agua, the ancient city of Antigua, and even see the distant Pacific coast.Guatemala · Quetzaltenango
