Acatenango Volcano Camping Adventure
A one-hour drive takes you from Antigua to the sleepy mountain village of La Soledad this morning, perched on the ridge of the Pacific slope of Volcan Acatenango. The trail up Volcan Acatenango has four distinct microclimates, each of which will take you about an hour to traverse. You’ll begin by walking up a steep trail through local farm fields and the first hour of hiking will help you acclimatize and warm up the leg muscles for the day’s hike! The second phase of the ascent passes through an old-growth tropical cloud forest. This type of high-alpine cloud forest is found on the upper slopes of many of Guatemala’s tallest volcanoes and mountains and is home to the famous Quetzal. After exiting the cloud forest, you’ll be rewarded with fantastic views of the other highland volcanoes (Atitlan, Toliman, San Pedro, Santa Maria, Santo Tomas, Tajamulco), along with glimpses of the Cuchumatanes mountain chain! A fresh picnic is prepared mid-day for the group to enjoy. Temperate coniferous forest and tropical dry forest characterize the 3rd phase of the ascent, which will lead to the storm-beaten treeline of the volcano. Your campsite is perched just below the tree line with sweeping views of the Antigua valley and Volcan Fuego. After setting up camp, hikers are free to rest, relax and enjoy their surroundings while your guide prepares a fresh camp dinner at 3750m with hot tea and coffee.
