We hiked to an ACTIVE VOLCANO! 🌋 (Acatenango & Fuego in Guatemala)

A HUGE thank you to LMNT for sponsoring this video! Head to http://DrinkLMNT.com/APLUSK to get your free sample pack with any purchase. Guatemala is home to 37 volcanoes, with 3 of them being active. 🌋 And a huge reason why we came to Guatemala was to hike up Acatenango to watch Fuego, one of the most active volcanoes in all of Central America, erupt! This was one of our top bucket list hikes in the entire world, but sometimes Mother Nature decides to throw some curveballs to keep things interesting (and help you learn to embrace things out of your control). 🤪 🎟️ Book this tour with V-Hiking: https://v-hiking.tours/en/ 💻 Read our guide to hiking Acatenango: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/acaten... 📅 This video was filmed in mid March 2025 ⌚Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Which tour company we chose 01:28 The hike starts out TOUGH! 02:25 THIS helped us BIG time on this hike! 03:38 Our experience hiking up Acatenango 06:14 Basecamp tour 07:53 What’s for lunch? 08:28 This won’t be the experience we expected 09:14 Waiting out the fog 10:57 Sunrise hike closer to Fuego 13:20 FINALLY! 14:54 The hike down (we did it!) 15:42 Final thoughts on the hike 16:34 A well deserved treat (you MUST go here) __________ ☕️ Check out our A+K Merch! https://adventuresofaplusk.com/shop/ 📷 See ALL of our gear: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/gear/ 🚐 Our Van Life products: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/v... 🎶 We get music for our videos from Musicbed: https://fm.pxf.io/adventuresofaplusk.
