Wicho & Charlie’s offers a guided two-day hike on Acatenango, climbing through pine and cypress slopes to a base camp and then making an early-morning summit attempt. The 3,976-metre volcano overlooks nearby Volcán de Fuego, whose activity can be viewed from the route and camp, as well as other volcanoes and Lake Atitlán. The operator describes transport, meals, equipment and camp facilities as part of the experience. The itinerary includes an ascent, overnight stay and descent; it is a strenuous high-altitude mountain hike, not a casual walk.
