My CRAZIEST Travel Experience | Volcano Acatenango Guatemala

Welcome to Volcano Acatenango Guatemala! In this Guatemala travel vlog, I take you with me on my craziest travel experience as I summit Volcano Acatenango in order to see incredible views of Central America’s most active volcano, Volcano Fuego. During this experience I saw LAVA for the first time, which ended up being one of the craziest experiences of my life.

Volcano Acatenango is located in southern Guatemala, about 1 hour away from the beautiful colonial town of Antigua. Volcano Acatenango is about 4,000 meters, or 13,000 feet, above sea level, so it is quite the hike up to the summit. But, hiking Volcano Acatenango is well worth the effort. Not only did I see an incredible sunrise and sunset, but I got to see Volcano Fuego up close!

Volcano Fuego is an active volcano that erupts every ~30 minutes. During the day, Volcano Fuego emits large grey clouds of smoke into the air. But, at night, Volcan Fuego erupts huge amounts of bright red lava. These explosions were HUGE and like nothing I have ever seen before. It was a magical experience.

If you visit Guatemala, I would highly recommend summiting Volcano Acatenango to see the incredible Volcano Fuego erupt, you won't regret it!
