ACATENANGO: WHAT TO KNOW. TRIP PREPARATION

In an effort to help you achieve your adventure goals, the Pro-Team at OX execute a Pre-Trip Meeting at our office the night before your climb of the Acatenango volcano.

This video is a summary of that meeting. It is not a replacement. We strongly recommend your attendance at the OX Pre-Trip Meeting.

The Problem with Volcan Acatenango is that it can be very challenging, especially for those with little to no experience with this sort of hiking / camping adventure. The hike begins at the trailhead which is roughly 2400 m / 8,000ft. The summit is 3976 m / 13,044 ft.

Issues such as physical exhaustion, dehydration, altitude sickness, hypothermia and more are some of the problems we strive to avoid due to proper preparation.

This video is meant as supplemental information and review of this meeting. We strongly suggest you attend the meeting so you can ask questions in person to your Professional OX Guide and arrive in the morning prepared.

For those of you who have missed our Pre-Trip Meeting, please reference this video to help you in your preparation and be sure to arrive early at our office so that you can meet your guide and get any additional gear and information you might need for the trek up the volcano.

We go above and beyond to ensure your overall experience is the best it can be for this once in a lifetime climb.

Please help us help you by attending this meeting.
