Volcán de Fuego, one of Guatemala's most active stratovolcanoes, offers a breathtaking and intense natural spectacle, primarily viewed from the adjacent Acatenango Volcano. Accessibility involves a challenging 2-day, 1-night guided hike up Acatenango, requiring good physical fitness. Guided tours are essential for safety, navigation, equipment, and local knowledge; solo visits are strongly discouraged due to the difficult terrain, variable weather, and the inherent dangers of an active volcanic region. The dry season (November to May) generally provides clearer views and more favorable hiking conditions, though volcanic activity itself can vary independently of seasons. A typical guided tour from Antigua, including transport, guide, equipment, and food, costs approximately $70-150 USD, plus a park entrance fee. This unique overnight experience allows visitors to witness Fuego's frequent, spectacular eruptions, especially under the night sky, making for an unforgettable, though demanding, adventure.
