Arrive at our office by 7:30 AM on the day of the hike. Pachamama Tours, provides all necessary gear (jackets, gloves, hats) and a detailed briefing. Optional Fuego Volcano hikes, snacks, extra gear, and porters are also available for purchase.

Your journey begins with a comfortable 45–60 minute shared minibus ride from our office to La Soledad, followed by an ascent to basecamp via a shorter route used by only a few selected agencies. By avoiding the most demanding section of the mountain, the hike becomes more scenic, more enjoyable, and far less exhausting, allowing you to arrive at camp with more energy to fully enjoy the experience. This also makes it a great option for guests who want to add the Fuego hike in the afternoon, one of the most dramatic highlights of the adventure. Upon arrival at basecamp, each group must provide 1 litre of water to the guide for the preparation of warm drinks. In the evening, relax by the fire with hot chocolate, enjoy a hearty dinner, and rest in our new cabins for up to 9 guests, with sleeping bags and glass doors facing the volcano. Our guides speak basic English; a bilingual guide is available at an additional cost. Wake up to fresh mountain air and unforgettable volcano views at dawn.

Experience the thrill of standing just 200 metres from Fuego Volcano’s eruptions on this adventurous 3.5-hour return! At an altitude of 3,768 metres (12,362 feet), this hike offers a safe yet awe-inspiring vantage point to witness one of Guatemala’s most active volcanoes. Departing at 4 PM, the hike requires intermediate fitness and takes you to the volcano, where you’ll spend 30 minutes watching the eruptions up close. Participants must come prepared with water, a jacket, and a headlamp, as this is a difficult hike. For safety reasons, travellers are not allowed to approach Fuego alone—doing so will immediately end the trip to ensure everyone’s well-being. The price is Q300 per person and Q700 for solo travellers. Join us for an unforgettable adventure!
