I ALMOST DIDN’T MAKE IT… HIKING VOLCANO ACATENANGO, GUATEMALA! (FULL TOUR & TIPS)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.พ. 2023
- If you’re traveling Guatemala and are looking for things to do in Guatemala and are up for a heart pumping adventure hiking up Volcán Acatenango is a great option. Volcano Acatenango is located around an hour from Antigua and starts at an elevation of 2,400 m. In this Guatemala Travel Vlog I will take you through my entire experience of hiking Volcan Acatenango, all the ups and the downs, literally! After a 5 hour hike straight up we reach base camp which is located at 3,600 meters. It’s here where we rest, take in the views of Volcán Fuego and sleep for the night before ascending to the peak of Acatenango for sunrise, 3,976 m (13,044 feet). This hike was the hardest physical activity I have ever completed and I will be honest there were many times I wanted to turn back around but knowing you were there with me kept me going! I hope this Acatenango Guatemala video helps you out when you’re planning your trip to Guatemala! #guatemala #acatenango

Im heading over there right now!
vaxxxed people have heart trouble now please warn them- over exertion causes the myocarditis .
My beautiful country Guatemala 🇬🇹 ❤️. Well my from Guatemala have 37 volcanos for all 😀
No disrespect to Adam but this was one of your best videos. What an adventure! Congrats, Heidi! It was clearly a challenge for you but you did it. WTG! There were also many touching emotional moments where you made us cry too but now we know you a little better. You guys are going to have a tough time topping this video. Loved it!
Hi Gary! I’m so happy to hear that! It was one emotional roller coaster wasn’t it! Thanks for being here and experiencing this with me. Have a wonderful day!
You are amazing! Great energy and vibes ❤️
I agree 😎
You guys make some of the best travel videos. The content peaked my interest, the PUNS drew me in, but your genuineness, vulnerability and personal connections are what keep me watching. Kudos!
I usually don’t comment on TH-cam videos 🙃 but watching your video really touched my heart and in a sense I related to you, plus I cried along with you. I loved how you were so transparent about your panic attack and how challenging this adventure was, yet you still had the courage to fight those fears and to persevere. I,too, suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, and it’s precisely those darn fears that occasionally hold me back in enjoying my life. I lost my mom several years ago and my doggy a couple of weeks ago and this video reminded me so much of them, and how much I would love to do something like this in dedication to them. What you did, taking your sister with you was beautiful and inspiring. I’m so proud of you! You are definitely a warrior girl 💪🏽. Your videos are so fun to watch, you and Adam are adorable 😊! Blessings to the both of you ❤
Hi Candy. I’m so glad this touched your heart. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us too. I hope when those moments come you can think of me and push through. You are stronger than you know!
@@TheCountryCollectors what a beautiful reply!
Wow Heidi! You had all of us (Taylor, Laura and me) crying when you were on the top of the mountain. That was a very magical and emotional video! We are so proud you made it to the top and shared it with us!!
Aww 🥰 you guys! I’m so glad I could share it with you! Thanks for joining me.
Made me cry when you said you took your sister's ashes .
Heidi you had my wife and I both in tears, We have been watching and using you guys to guide us through our journey in Mexico. I remember about 2 years ago my wife found you guys on TH-cam and I was calling you the smiling guy’s, and you grew on me. We were just saying of all the people we follow you two are the ones we would like to sit down with and have lunch and hang out. Seeing you tear up climbing the mountain hit us hard because we have been traveling for 6 months,we miss our families and friends especially when your out on your own without your partner you feel lost and alone. That’s me barely know Spanish asking myself what am I doing here? Stay strong Adam give her a good massage…Safe Travels
Aww 🥰 we would love that too! Nice lunch and good laughs sounds great! It is quite a sacrifice living this life. Missing friends and family is the hardest part. But it just makes the time you spend together so much more special!
Heidi que bonitas palabras para tu hermana, me hiciste llorar 😢, te felicito por tu logro 👏 nunca te rendiste y eso te hace una mujer poderosa 💪🏻 muchas felicidades
Aww 🥰 muchas gracias Susana!
Thank you, Heidi for taking us along on your great adventure. The views were fantastic 👏!!! I am proud of you and your perseverance. You gave a fine tribute to your sister, Heather. Adam, kudos for supporting Heidi in her moment of excellence. Although you couldn't be with her physically, we both supported her in spirit along her journey.
Yes he did! Thank you for supporting me too!
I cannot believe that view! Above the clouds looked like you were in another world! And what a trek up! you are a warrior girl! Adam you are one lucky guy!
Aww 🥰 thank you!! The pain was worth the gain!
Amazing!
Que video tan hermoso y gracias por tener ese bello momento con tu hermana en nuestro pais ... y no dudes que parte de ella quedo en esta tierra tan Bendecida ... y que siempre podras saber que en Guatemala tendras un lugar especial en que podras volver a venir ... Saludos y mil Gracias por compartir al mundo lo bello que es Guatemala...❤🇬🇹🇬🇹❤
🙏❤️
You guys rock! Guatemala is such a beautiful country! Heidi are so adorable and passionate. What an experience to share. The whole hike was so personal and your positive message was well received! Thank you for what you guys do. Its amazing!
Our pleasure! Thank you!
Well done! what an incredible hike experience, "Fear is the enemy of progression" so true. Thank you for sharing🌋the experience🙏🏼❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here!
I love all the positive vibes you put out in this video Heidi. I was crying with you and what a beautiful share about your sister. Thank you for making me feel like part of your family! You really make me feel like I am there! I am always so excited for next week with you both. See you Soon Country Collectors!
Thanks for being here and virtually climbing Volcan Acatenango with me!
so positive and inspiring! thanks Heidi
I felt your sister there too .. I knew she would be with you .. big hugs
❤️❤️❤️
@@TheCountryCollectors at the beginning one of the dogs turned and waited for you and all I felt and thought .. that’s her sister ..
The boy on his horse, looked like he was going to school. I love that shot.
So did I! I saw some other kids his age heading out with farm tools they were going to work.
so cool! can adults take them too?
Absolutely amazing Heidi. What a climb! Your explanation of the symbolism of the climb in comparison with with life was so touching. ❤️.
Bringing your sister with you and sprinkling her ashes at the top had me sobbing. This was such an incredible gesture. I felt every minute of that with you. ♥️.
Thank you so much for bringing us along on such an amazing, emotional adventure.
I’m so glad you could virtually join me! I always think of you and Rob when I experience things like this with my sister. Sending lots of love your way!
@@TheCountryCollectors Rob and I climbed El Castillo at Coba together in Mexico. It was nowhere close to this climb but it’s a memory I hold in my heart because we did it together. If I ever go back, I think I will do the same as you and spread some of his ashes there. ❤️
@@peterslater3775 that sounds like the best plan!
Congratulations Heidi and thank you for sharing this wonderful experience!! I hope you are filled with joy and peace. You have truly touched my heart with your honesty, bravery and willingness to share this healing journey. Sending lots of love and prayers ❤️🥰🙏
❤️ Hi Nancy! Aww 🥰 thanks 🙏 for coming along on my healing journey!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good morning Country Collectors!!!!
Morning!
hey!
Un Ángel como tu hermana y sus cenizas quedan en lo más alto de Guatemala, que bonito momento! Tu hermana debe de estar alegre y siempre contigo! Muy emotivo momento!
lo recordare por siempre!
Like #2!!!... @The Country Collectors, good 🌞 morning Country Collectors 👍🇲🇽❤️🇺🇸🤗👏👋🤭🥰💐🌹🎉🥳🎈😘😀😳😲🥲🤯😶🌫️😍😁...
Woo hoo good morning!
Top of the morning!
What a view of the volcano.. beautiful
That made it all worth it!
Great advice about fear and failure… you are such a great inspiration.. you are such a beautiful person Heidi ❤
❤️ Thanks Tammy!
the best!
Omg the pictures of the eruption is absolutely gorgeous … great job Heidi ❤
Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun!
That’s so sweet … the “real boss” his mom lol
She was so sweet! I wish I could have included a bit more video of her but they were doing construction so it was super loud!
thank you both for sharing your journey and thank you Heidi for being vulnerable and sharing your thoughts and feelings throughout the hike. Last year my friend and I hiked the waterfalls at Yosemite National Park, and yes, you get a sense of tiredness, but once you're "on top of the world", it makes it all worth it. (wiping my face from all the tears) I think I needed this video cause I've been in such a slump. Thank you
Sprinkling your sister’s ashes the most beautiful thing to do. Had me in tears. Everything just beautiful. Hoping to do that hike especially after watching your video. Thank you.
🙏❤️
Omg what a perfect spot for a hammock… love it .. the view is just breathtaking
I could have stayed there all day! It was heaven up there!
@@TheCountryCollectors it sure was ❤️❤️

Woo woo
Hi Heidi, this was such a touching episode. As many others have mentioned, I also got teary eyed. 😢 These are the stories that stay with us forever. One of the best videos I’ve seen from many travelers. I am from Guatemala and been living in the States for the last forty years and when I see videos like yours make me realize how much I love my country.
Your country is so special! Thanks for joining me!
Very touching, thank you for sharing this with us! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm so glad I ran into this channel!! I'm having so much fun watching every video
That’s wonderful!
Thank you for taking us on this journey. I hike but being 76 years old I think I will just enjoy what you gave me. I am so happy for you and you were able to spread some of your sisters ashes in that special place. Semper Fi.
Hi Peter! Thanks for being here!
Heidi 💕sending you lots of love. Thank you for sharing this journey with us and inspiring us all.
Thank you so much!
So inspiring! one of my favorites so far!
Challenge, adventure and wonder. That’s what life should be all about! Thank you for taking us on your journey Country Collectors!
Our pleasure! Thanks for being here!
So much respect for you Heidi! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 that Hike looked very hard. You did it 💪🏼🎉
Thank you!
Que hermoso video, que hermosa vibra y que lindo detalle y lloré contigo con el homenaje a tu hermana. Un abrazo! y que gusto que estén en estas tierras guatemaltecas.
Muchas gracias Carlos! Saludos!
Congratulations Heidi! Was getting very emotional with you. Your sister is sooooo proud of you! ❤ I wouldn't be able to do this hike, my last bigger one is a couple years ago, I'd need to train first. Plus the altitude, I'm a bit like Adam when it comes to that. So thank you for taking us along with you!! Those volcano eruptions were amazing.
Hi Jana! Thank you for joining me! I appreciate you being here. Yes it was very difficult and then dealing with the altitude… so hard. If I had time I would have trained for it for sure!
WHAT A JOURNEY TO SHARE WITH US! AMAZING!
OMG this video was amazing!! You've definitely inspired me. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad!
Outstanding! best video ever or landscape! impressive the journey! Congrats
Thanks a lot!
You are so awesome! Thank you for being brave to challenge your fears! Thank you for being brave to show your vulnerability and love for your sister! You inspire me!
Aww that means a lot! Thank you!
Oh Heidi you got my in my feels. Such a wonderful thing to do for your sister 🙏 Great adventure, you inspire me ❤
Hi Lily! Aww 🥰 thank you for joining me on this journey!
Wow Heidi! This was an incredible and emotional video. Thank you for sharing a touching and personal moment with us!
It’s my pleasure!
Wow! Absolutely amazing and SPECIAL!! Great job and thank you for sharing as always!!! 🙂👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I wouldn't be able to do this hike at this stage in my life, so thank you for pressing through and taking us with you! What stunning views, the volcano shots are amazing! Your sister would be proud of you. You're right, fear keeps people from doing so many incredible things. You and Adam will look back and be very happy you got out there, took chances, and experienced the world. I'm heading to Zacatlán in April because of your video, so keep on keeping on!
Hi Julia! Thank you so much for joining me on this adventure! I am glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kind words!
What a beautiful beautiful video. ❤️ Your sister was with you on your journey and is with you always. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with all of us.

Aww sending hugs🤗 Heidi!! You're amazing!! Great job!! Amazing video!! 🤍 Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much 🤗
. Thank you for sharing such a great experience with us.
Our pleasure!
Me alegra tanto que hayas vivido esa hermosa experiencia en mi bello país; ¡eres una mujer muy fuerte! Me conmovió el momento en que mencionaste lo de tu hermana y el gesto que tuviste con parte de sus cenizas. Hiciste que reflexionara al respecto de no rendirme ni renunciar a mis metas y sueños. Me encantan sus videos. ¡Welcome to Guatemala, corazón del Mundo Maya! 🫶🏼😊
Muchas gracias 🙏
Is beautiful 🌋😍😍
🥰
Nice work Heidi. I didn't doubt you for a second!
Thank you! 😁
SO PROUD OF YOU!
Thank you 🙏
Such an amazing video & experience Heidi! Definitely made us tear up a little when you spread your sisters ashes, you couldn't have chosen a better place to pay tribute to her. Thanks for sharing that moment with us!
I am so happy I got to share this with you! Thank you.
Gracias por compartir las cenizas de tu hermanita con Guatemala y su bella naturaleza ! Dios los bendiga siempre! Guatemala Siempre estará contigo! Abrazos amiga!
🥰❤️🙏
Another superb video 💪❤ Thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thank you very much Heidi, I really enjoyed it!
Thanks Sara!
What an amazing experience! The atmosphere must have been overwhelming seeing and hearing that volcano going off. Very brave of you to have done this on your own. I remember when I was 16 I hiked up and down the Grand Canyon with 5 other girls and 2 teachers in a day (24 miles round trip) and I felt like every bone in my body was broken the next morning and my feet were bloody. But I can't imagine doing something like that with such high altitude too. Almost nothing will seem like an obstacle to you now after having accomplished that. Congrats! 🍾🥂
Thank you so much! Wow that sounds like a grueling experience as well. 24 miles!! 😯 thanks for sharing and for joining me!
Good morning country collectors 😊
Good morning!
Morning!
@@exploretheworld6939 😊

You two are my fav seriously ! My husband and I are heading to Mexico next month and we always mention how rad it would be to have dinner with you two haha ! Good job girly for climbing that mountain 🏔️ what an accomplishment 🎉
Thank you so much! I appreciate you! Have a great time in Mexico!
We absolutely cannot wait !!!! Have a great day !
Heidi, your sister would’ve been extremely proud of you for hiking up and down that mountain. Thank you for sharing that precious moment with us. Had tears in my eyes and got pretty emotional just watching you. God bless you Heidi. 🙏🏼
Thanks for joining me!
You did it. You are amazing!
Thank you so much!!
I am amazed by your courage and the beauty that surrounded you going up and down the mountain, which you so kindly shared with us. I have no doubts that your sister will cherish these last moments with you for eternity, until you are united again. LOVE lives forever. Very humbled that you made us part of this precious, unique and unforgettable experience. God bless!! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for joining me!
Great advice on what to bring
Glad it was helpful! You want to bring enough but not too much. The pack was so heavy!

Buenos dias!
