Volcán de Fuego, an active stratovolcano, presents a challenging yet rewarding experience for avid hikers. Due to its active nature, accessibility is limited, and hiking is strongly discouraged without a certified local guide. Solo visits are highly dangerous and not recommended. The dry season (November to April) typically offers the best conditions for climbing, although volcanic activity can lead to closures at any time. A guided overnight hike, including permits and equipment, can cost approximately $150-$300 USD per person. The typical visit duration is 2 days/1 night, involving a strenuous climb and descent. Prior acclimatization to altitude is essential, and visitors should be prepared for potential volcanic hazards.
