- ... But I am so glad I didn't! This was one of the toughest hikes I have been on so far. Acatenango and El Fuego in Antigua Guatemala did not disappoint. It was grueling, camping was involved and of course lava! If you're a thrill seeker, avid hiker, or generally love outdoor challenges - I highly recommend this experience. But maybe go a little bit more prepared than I was :).
A 2 day hike that takes you up to 4k feet with a thunderous light display all night. We had some amazing views and I am so proud of everyone in our little group for taking on this hike.

I am a part time traveller but full-time adventurer - because adventure begins with a mindset. I’ve got more adult responsibilities than I care to count - but I’m sure there’s a life less ordinary out there for us. Let’s share our cultures, experiences, positive vibes, and keep on wandering together.

Wow GUATEMALA IS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. FELICITACIONES. 😜
I know that volcano, Acatenago is my little town.
I'm from Guatemala, and I was born in Acatenago, so, that's why I know that volcano!!🥰🥰
God bless you guys, and thank you for to visit my country!🌹🥰🌷👍💐⚘❤
This video needs more views. It is amazing.
jose chavez thank you so much Jose! Really appreciate that :) have you done the hike?
It WAS absolutely worth it! The shot with the Milky Way - amazing! Keep adventuring, I am watching you now :-)
Wow at 8:50 that was one of the most amazing shots I ever seen, it looks unreal!!😍
Going to Acatenango next saturday, and got to say, I´m learning from your experience. Thanks for the video, you are so brave !
That's so exciting! You'll love it, it's an incredible experience and definitely pushes you :) Have a great trek
@@lifebylinda thank you !
🇬🇹🇬🇹🇺🇸🇺🇸 amo tu video amiga
Amazing and beautiful place!
It really is!
That was awesome dude! By far insanity for us to have done that hike but I am so proud we both pushed through. That Milky Way Shot is amazing!!!!
Thanks and yes - I think this will stay as one of the bets accomplishments especially because we were so unprepared haha
Also you definitely were not the weakest link. You conquered that volcano, girl!!!
ha thanks :)
Linda, this is one awesome video. The video and pictures you shared of your night expedition are incredible. Will try and do Acatenango this year. You are an inspiration. By the way, you do look so beautiful through out the way. Gracias princesa linda. Happy and safe travels.
I’m from Guatemala and I couldn’t be close to el Volcán de Fuego thanks to your video. Such an amazing and breath taking journey of this place. Kudos to you for this amazing experience. I’m glad you didn’t GIVE UP.
Thanks so much! It really was an incredible adventure, I hope you get to experience it one day too :)
One of the greatest videos of Acatenango that I ever seen. Congrats, hope you enjoy my country.
Thanks so much :) I loved your country - I'll be back to visit again for sure :)
That was an awesome picture taken. Your hard word and determination payed off. At least I think so. Thank you for visiting my country. Hope to see you visit Guatemala sometime soon again. :)
It definitely did and it's always worth it! I will for sure be back, it's such a wonderful place :)
I really liked your video, and the picture you took is awesome. I did acatenango twice (20+ years ago), and totally relate to the struggling, the pushing yourself, and the sense of accomplishment. Btw, is not 4k feet, is 4k meters! (13k feet)
The scenery looks stunning! Good job on pushing through :)
Thanks it really was! the scenery definitely helped to get there :)
Amazing! And way to push yourself...especially with all that gear! 💪💪💪
thanks! haha yea probably not the smartest move to bring all the camera stuff
Love.
Great!!
Nice video.Beutiful guatemala. Looks fun.
Thank you!
🤘
That is totally me my first time there. Then I became addicted to hiking, got in shape and from 8 hours hiking I have done it in 4 hours in my 8th time I believe.
And celebratory tacos are the best tacos after only eating granola bars for two days.
Wow that's incredible!! Well done. I bet nothing tastest as good as those tacos 😄
Dry season is the best season to see the volcano oct to may. Jun to sep you can see anyway but is raining season
What camera did you use for that shot? It’s amazing
I used my Panasonic gh5 :) it was incredible to witness as well!
This was in June? Asking because im traveling in May and online said it’s best to see volcán Acatenango Nov-Jan
This was actually early April when we went. Have a great trip!
Life by Linda thank you!
You are a warrior girl
I like this your video
Hi Linda , thanks for your honesty , I have experience, hiking high altitudes in Peru , I was wondering if you would recommend the company you used and if so , what company was it ? Was it Guatemalan owned ?
Hi Lori! Unfortunately I don't know which company it was but I imagine it was local. I booked directly at the hostel I stayed in, in Antigua (Selina hostel). I hope that helps!
Life by Linda Thanks Linda , happy 😃 trails ! Appreciate the input
6:02 "Was it worth it?" YES
agreed :)
Love it
I’m I’m from Guatemala City thanks for visiting my country
I loved Guatemala and I'm already planning to come back next year :)
I wimped and hired a horse. You did well!!!
Thanks so much! Still though, amazing that you did it
Just did this Volcano unguided and at night. It was insanely difficult. My backpack was like 90lbs. My legs still are sore 3 days after but it was so worth it.
wow! and yea, it's definitely one of the toughest challenges, but also so rewarding. Congrats!
I am doing this very soon and hope the weather doesn’t screw it up :/
fingers crossed! It's such an incredible adventure, enjoy!
The only thing i did was to walk from Guatemala City to Antigua Guatemala throgh the woods, another way to see the all the stars at night
Wow that sounds like quite a journey! Must have been an incredible adventure and night sky :) have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful chica espero que te gusto mucho Guatemala
Gracias! Si me encanta Guatemala:)
We hiked Acatenango with our dogs!! two weeks ago. it was amazing! Check out the video if you want :)
If you are guatemalan is something normal. I remembered one friday night playing a basketball game, the next day we ride our bikes from Guate city to Santiago Atitlan the very next day we kayaked from Santiago to San Pedro and back, the next day we played a basket ball game against San Lucas. If you dont do that, you were never in Guate.
md ln very true! It's a beautiful country full of different adventures!
Great Trek
it really was! have you been?
i wish, Happy Friday, thanks for answering.
How you could be with out jacket in the morning??????. That’s why you catch cold ?????.
I dont even remember being cold... but I definitely should have had some warmer layers with me!
