Can't say enough great things about this company. Laura in the office ensured all our needs were met and took the time to explain all our options and what to expect. Rodrigo took the best care of us on the hike and always made sure our needs were met throughout our journey. We chose this company because they offer small groups for the Acatanango 2-day hike. There were a total of 4 of us on this trip, a far cry from the groups with 40+ with the other companies. Trek Guatemala also has special access through private land for an early portion of the trail to help avoid the large groups at the beginning and end of the hike. Because of the small group size, they can also offer the opportunity to change the itinerary a bit as long as the group is in agreement. We ended up summiting Acatanango on day 1 for sunset as opposed to sunrise on day 2. This was 100% a better option as there were only a handful of people at the summit for sunset, which made it a truly special experience. We ended up watching sunrise from the comfort of our campsite without hundreds of other people and a 4am start time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this company.

Thank you, Simon, for your amazing review! Your feedback on the small group benefits and itinerary flexibility is much appreciated. It makes all the difference to be with a small group vs. 30-40 other hikers. We're thrilled Laura and Rodrigo provided such a memorable and personalized experience for your Acatanango hike. Safe travels on your next adventure!

We did the 4 day Antigua to Atitlán Sky Route and the people at TG did a fantastic job of hosting us. It was an unforgettable adventure we'll be talking about forever.
We were a combined family of 10 and another couple to make 12 which is their max. This makes the experience feel intimate and special and allowed our guides, Jaime and Andres, to meet all of our skill levels-- the 20-somethings can speed ahead with one guide, while older folks can fall back and still not feel rushed. The older ones were in their 50s and 60s.
I would not recommend it if you are not up for a significant physical challenge--the steep ascents and descents combined with the altitude make it tough at times, but doable for those in reasonably good shape. (To prepare, we had been doing a lot of walking, but, in retrospect, more weight-bearing exercise would have been good). Hiking poles are essential--Trek Guat provides or bring your own.
The entire team is lovely--from Juan Carlos who takes care of setting up camp, to Chef Patricio to driver Hugo--they are all super kind and helpful. Patricio's meals are one of the things that stands out most--creative appetizers, delicious stews, fresh tortillas, etc. We never went to bed hungry. If you go in the winter (which is not a bad time, you don't want to go when it's super rainy, probably), bring for hot and cold temps, as in shearling slippers and knit hat for evenings by the fire and tank tops and shorts for heat of the day, the weather changes are that extreme. TG's packing list is pretty spot on. Views of the volcanic range will stay with you forever--a beautiful country. Our group meandered through small towns and made cultural stops for weaving/fresh tortilla making and at a coffee plantation. Unforgettable!!

We did the overnight Acatananga glamping trip and it was so worth doing! We had been a bit apprehensive about the hike because so many reviews commented on the difficulty and most of the hikers were quite a bit younger than we are. The 4 of us are all in our 50s and 60s, but we're very fit and we hike a lot and we made it to the top in less than 4.5 hours, whereas most of the big groups take 5 to 6 hours. I won't say it wasn't strenuous, but at no point did we feel like it was going to be too much for us.
Our guide was David (aka Jerry) and he was great! Our group was just the 4 of us, and I'm so glad that we didn't go with one of the other operators who were herding up groups of 20-25 people. Overall, I thought Trek Guatemala was very well-run and professional, and offered a fantastic experience.
The day we started the trek was rainy and when we got to the top it was windy, very cold, and totally clouded in -- we were so disappointed because we couldn't see Fuego at all. Then at about 9pm that night and again at 3am, there were breaks in the clouds and we were able to see eruptions every 5 or 10 minutes. It was so mesmerizing to watch and we got some great photos! It would have been nice to have had clear skies all evening, but even just the glimpses we got made it all worthwhile!!! My advice - if you are there on a cloudy night, don't give up -- keep checking for the skies to clear!
Some more tips from our experience ---
If you aren't used to elevation, I'd definitely recommend preparing for the trek. We spent 3 nights at Lake Atitlan and 1 night in Antigua to get acclimated to elevation (both are a bit over 5000 ft). Two days before the hike we further acclimated by doing a "practice" hike on the Montenegro trail from Santa Catarina at Lake Atitlan -- a really nice 6 mile out&back with 2100' elevation gain up to 7200'. No alcohol the day before and we made sure to stay hydrated.
Since it had just rained, we didn't experience any of the dust or sliding in sand that some of the other reviewers commented about.
Bring lots of layers -- it really was COLD up there!
We thought the quantity of food they provided was about right (although really big eaters might want to bring something more to snack on). But we did bring trail bars and electrolytes for the hike and that really helped boost our energy and get through the elevation challenges.
Hire a porter even if you think you can carry your own pack! Not only does it make the trek a lot easier, it's good for the local economy.

In general the experience was not bad but there are certain things that on a personal level give rise to this rating
1. Price: exaggeratedly high, they sell you the tour for their meals, their stay and their guides. The average price ranges from 350 quetzales ($50) to 700 ($100$) in any tour agency, our price was about 1200 quetzales ($170). With a tourist from Switzerland I realized that she had paid $90 and her stay was in a cabin with beds, sleeping bags and blankets. Which brings up my second point, the stay. We paid the high price per person to get to the fire base and realized that our night was going to be spent in a small tent with inflatable mattresses, many of which had holes and deflated. The food was average and below, basically it was not something out of the ordinary that you won't get with another tour agency. Just to tell you that our breakfast on the way back was packaged oatmeal in water. They make you pay up to $50 extra to run your store otherwise you have to carry it yourself. Lastly and most importantly were the guides. The main guide Mario, a connoisseur of the mountains with many years of experience with whom you feel safe, for the rating 10. The other girl, a young lady called Crisia or Crista, with a lot of experience in the mountains (she insisted on telling us up to the tiredness from his multiple experiences) but with very little experience dealing with clients who are pushing themselves to the maximum to climb 6 hours walking. She kept her pace fast and managed to break the group of 9 into 3 small groups, completely ignoring the middle group. At one point climbing the summit things became tense and when he was politely asked to please wait, he became angry and demanded that people hurry up. In my opinion, if you are a guide you have to be careful and not break up the group just because you are in a race with your own ego. A good guide encourages you and insists that you continue giving it your all but does not leave you stranded just because “I go up 3 times a week.” You need to be empathetic with people who may not have your physical condition or experience but who are paying you and putting their lives in your hands. He is not a good guide who runs up the mountain and leaves those under his supervision stranded.

Thanks for your review. Yes, our price is higher, but that's because we pay a fair wage to our staff and offer small group travel vs. other operators who do trips with 30+ guests. The cabins you are referring to are illegal structures in a protected area, and sleep 10-12 people on the same crowded floor. We offer individual tents and a "leave no trace" approach that helps to preserve the Acatengano ecosystem. We appreciate and will communicate your guide feedback to our staff.

We picked trek Guatemala despite it being more expensive than other providers because we didn’t want to hike with a large group of people. However, despite being just a group of three, the experience did not justify the costs. The food was very average - there were no snacks provided on the way up. One of the people in our group was gluten free but there was no accommodation made for her diet. The tents were average with no blankets or sleeping bag liners.
Finally, on our way down, the guide seemed like he was in a hurry and brought us down in under 2 hours despite us telling him the pace was too quick. Overall, not worth the premium and would recommend picking a cheaper option.

We picked November for the dry season, but Tropical Storm Sara had other things in mind. We started out with two days of rain, and then it cleared up/dried up and we could start seeing some views. Our guides (Luis, Jaime, and Andres) were unfailingly kind and cheerful throughout, patient as we picked our ways up and down the muddy trails, and kept us safe. We made the best of the situation, which is all about your attitude anyway. When we couldn't see the views, Luis was teaching us about the crops, the farming life, the flowers, the medicinal properties, the games they used to play with flowers that pop like firecracker poppers, etc. When it cleared, Luis taught us about the volcanoes, the history, the people, the politics, the Mayan ways. The campsite was always tidy and our tents were awesome--clean bedding, straw mats to walk on. the dining tent was comfortable (we had to stay under it a lot the first two nights because of the rain). the portable toilet was as clean as those can be, and the hot shower was great. Patrizio our cook made delicious food, hot coffee and tea, and would introduce the food, hang around, and wait until we tried everything and were satisfied before he would walk away. My favorite parts were meeting the people of the area--learning how to make tortillas and elotes, warming our hands by the stove of a kind lady when we waited for rain to pass, speaking with local guides and learning about their lives. We were six ladies and felt very safe the whole time. Highly recommend this trip and seeing the beauty of the land and people of Guatemala!

Excellent ! We booked this company from within the UK after looking at various options online before travelling. No regrets, great communication, excellent staff and guides, great campsite and for 3700m…..great supper and breakfast!
There were so many people trekking with other operators in huge groups, 20+ maybe even more, with TrekGuat it is 8per guide, we were 14total with 2 guides, they know the volcano so well, explain anything you require. They have an exclusive agreement to trek through some private land just after beginning, climbing a few hundred metres without lots of other people, very worthwhile, there may be other, cheaper operators, do not scrimp if you don’t have too book with TrekGuatemala. Big Thank you to Pepian & Jaime (our guides) Jose (a porter) and Lucia (Manager) all excellent ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Trekking Acatenago is really worth the effort, if you are reasonably fit and healthy it really is not that difficult, this was for my 60th Birthday, I found it relatively comfortable, (always harder descending for my knees) never once thought “I can’t do this” - all the comments about it being the most difficult thing ever !! those people must have been totally unprepared, unfit, or both - and believe me there will be harder challenges in life
Take the right equipment, good boots, base layers (cold at the top) plenty water, snacks, right clothing, head torch, gloves. Prepare properly and you will enjoy it.
Mother nature puts on an excellent show for us all to watch

I did the Acatenango day hike with my best friend and I would never have survived it without her and our unbelievable guide, Juan Pablo. Most people do the hike over 2 days but due to time constraints, we did it in one day. Make no mistake, this hike is very hard. It is maybe less than 1% flat and the rest of the time you are on an incline of at least 45°. But Trekking Guatemala and Juan Pablo made it possible for us to make it all the way up and all the way down safely and with a lot of encouragement. We had previously booked with OX Expeditions but they required at least 4 people to run the hike, and we were the only ones signed up. Trekking Guatemala has no minimum, were extremely fast in their responses to inquiries, and provided us everything we needed for the trip. Our guide gave us trekking poles (a must), prepared a fantastic homemade lunch, and had extra snacks, warm layers, and head lamps for us if we needed. This was the most physically demanding activity I have ever done, taking almost 11 hours start to finish, but Trekking Guatemala and Juan Pablo made it the best experience it could be.

We had a fab hike, camp was located well so we had great views all night.
Food was nice and plentiful, including snacks, we have heard from others with other companies that they didn’t really receive enough, we definitely did.
We booked the new option of the glamping tent and although the tent was fab, the single cot beds are the most uncomfortable things we’ve ever slept in, so narrow that you can’t get comfy as the metal bars dig in, those staying in the standard tents had a blow up mattress which would have been so much better.
Our guide accidentally didn’t set their alarm so we almost missed the sunrise summit - thankfully we woke and woke the guide up and we raced to summit in under an hour which was gruelling and the sun was basically up on arrival so we missed the main event which was a shame but still worthwhile.
For the extra cost this operator charges in comparison to other companies, I’d say that you’re paying extra for the small group size, great camp location and good food. Other companies take like 30 people up, we were a group of just 4 which was great in our opinion.

Thank you, Jessica, for your detailed feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the location, views, food, and group size. We've addressed the cot comfort by adding a soft foam mattress to each one, and I apologize about our guide missing the alarm. Your insights help us improve!

Although the Trek Guatemala hike up Acatenango is priced higher than the competitors it is completely worth it. We had a nice small group of 6. Our guide Andres was amazing from beginning to end, so helpful and supportive throughout, and kept the group together so well.The organisation throughout was top notch. The cooked food was lovely and there was plenty of snacks provided on the hike itself. The hike itself is tough, but when you get to the summit it is completely worth it. I can't recommend the hike and Trek Guatemala high enough. Andy & Sarah

How young of children is approved/appropriate for this? Thanks
Written December 9, 2019
Hi Shannon,
We've had kids as young as 9 years old complete the trek, but they were already quite seasoned hikers who had done a lot of walking/trekking trip with their families back home. It's about 5-6 hours of walking per day, with some days of elevation ascent/descent of around 4,000 ft. Just to give you a point of reference. Hope this helps!
