Fuego Ridge Hike

Fuego Ridge Hike (Add-On Only)

This is an add-on and must be booked with the Acatenango Hike. It cannot be purchased on its own.

Experience Overview

Enhance your Acatenango experience with an optional hike to Volcán Fuego. After reaching basecamp, you’ll continue on to Fuego in the late afternoon, positioning yourself for sunset with a close, unobstructed view of active eruptions.

This add-on brings you significantly closer to the volcanic activity, with views as near as approximately 150 meters from the crater. It is one of the most unique parts of the experience, offering a direct perspective of Fuego’s eruptions in a setting that changes by the minute.

You will return to basecamp in the evening and continue with the standard overnight itinerary, including dinner and the next morning’s summit hike.

Activity Itinerary

Day 1

• 11:45am–12:30pm — Hotel/Hostal pickup

Important Notes

• This add-on takes place after arrival at basecamp on Day 1

This add-on is ideal for hikers who want a more immersive and up-close experience with Volcán Fuego while still completing the full Acatenango overnight hike.
