The MOST DANGEROUS HIKE we've been on so far (ACATENANGO VOLCANO) - Guatemala travel vlog
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- We woke up at 6am to hike Guatemala's most active volcano FUEGO. Situated at 13000 ft, ACATENENGO is the dormant volcano next to FUEGO which is where we will stay for the overnight. This HIKE was NOT easy and the extra hike to FUEGO really killed us (especially the elevation). Watch until the end to find out our experience as we got real close to FUEGO when it exploded.

Hope you liked the video! What is a crazy adventure that have you been to? Comment below
So jealous! And it’s great to be young to be able to do this! My husband and I were in Antigua three weeks ago. And we spent our wedding anniversary watching Fuego Volcano erupting “all day” Just fascinating! Thanks for your video to show us how it is up there, close and personal! A memorable experience for sure! All the best to you guys!
@@SB-qs9zu thank you for such a nice comment! we’re very grateful our bodies allowed us to make it up there. And, happy wedding anniversary! May I ask how many years y’all have been married? I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate than a visit to Antigua - it’s truly a magical city.
@@kineticpassports Oh. Wow! How SUPER SWEET of you to ask about our anniversary! It was the 33rd anniversary. This one is very special to me. I’m 66. At 33, I got married. And I’ve been married for 33 years. 33+33=66 That means I spent half of my life being married! Go figure! LOL Yes. Antigua is so enchanting/charming and it reminds us a lot of Kathmandu. Safe travels and keep sharing! Muchas gracias!
@@SB-qs9zu what a milestone! Half your life married - wow! We aspire to that, though we’re only 4 years in (almost 5)! Congratulations to you two - that is a really special anniversary.
We’re actually headed to Kathmandu in a couple of weeks to start the Everest base camp trek. So, we’ll definitely be sharing that!
I plan on doing this trek on Thursday God willing!! Do you recommend the tour company you took? Did you guys have the option to summit Acatenango!
Great video. I did this hike. Worth every step to get to the top.
Thank you - we're so happy you enjoyed the video. And, totally agree - worth every step and bead of sweat to get there.
Yay! You used your trekking poles! Awesome! Looks like a great trip!
I learned recently (from a YT video, of course) that you should put your trekking pole straps on from underneath, that way if you fall you won't risk breaking your wrists and your hands are free to catch yourself.
Thought you’d approve 👍😉 And, good tip! We’ve always been told to never use the straps going downhill, but this makes a lot of sense.
@@kineticpassports yeah, I had been using my trekking poles for many years before discovering that I was doing it wrong. I've always believed in passing on good information.
Keep on trekking!
Excelente video, saludos…
Gracias, amigo!
Impresionante video: TURÍSTIANDO EN VOLCANES. En Antigua Guatemala. Wow, wow y wow. Felicitaciones
Thank you so much!!
Super cool video! Were you able to use a drone easily for those shots and if so which one? Just curious because I was wondering how restrictions for drones are in Guatemala
There aren't any restrictions atleast by the volcano but we also used the drone in Antigua without any issues. We just had the DJl Mini 3 - one thing i would do differently is get multiple batteries or bigger battery, even though Fuego looks close from Acatenengo, I almost ran out of battery on the way back.
Experiencias unicas en la vida👍
Absolutely! Once in a lifetime - we’re so grateful we were able to do it 🤩
Great video and views!
Aww- thank you!! That means so much to us. And, the views were UNREAL. Camera didn’t do it justice!
You guys are so great for pushing so hard but on the way was so cute for feeding the dogs not many do that but that was so humble for the dogs. Hope you had a great time and Epic in Guatemala. Thanks you for viciting my Country.
Guatemala was by far one of the most amazing countries we’ve been to. And, we especially loved all the street dogs we came across. We noticed the locals took good care of them which was very heartwarming - it’s not like that in every country. Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
Thanks to you guys and your videos I can see those places, it's ironic because I'm from Guatemala but I've never seen those places. Nice video. Well done
We’re so happy you’re able to see it through our eyes - hoping one day get to see it yourself! And, thank you so much!
Beautiful...
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
😮😮 so epically beautiful! Good job guys
Thank you!! The natural beauty and wonder was UNREAL!
Good job guys do it that hike is TOUGH now go to PACAYA VOLCANO to eat pizza cooked in the lava...hughs from Miami
Thank you for watching! It's definitely a tough one - especially the extra hike roundtrip to Fuego. Will add Pacaya to our list - lava pizza sounds like something we don't want to miss.
Is a Pleasure and thank you for visiting my Country and next time dont forget TIKAL too and CENOTES and THERMAL waters...happy afternoon guys...@@kineticpassports
@@RolandGUA awesome! Sounds like we need to go back soon
Definitly Im sure soon you are back in Guatemala, I notce in your eyes you really enjoy it...good luck guys blessings waiting for the next video...@@kineticpassports
@@RolandGUA thank you so much!!!
start from 13:00 , Will it be clear if I take the picture with my mobile phone?
All those explosions were caught on our A7C Sony camera. We saw some folks take pictures of the explosions on their iPhones that were pretty good. Videos may not be as good from the campsite
What month did you go ?
We were there mid-December 2023
