Located in the Valley of Panchoy, Antigua, Guatemala is ringed with 3 massive volcanoes that lift to nearly 14,000 feet. Named for the elements of nature that are part of the legends of these volcanoes, Agua (water) and Fuego (fire), are accessible ascents for novice and advanced hikers. Old Town offers one day excursions to Acatenango and Pacaya volcanoes, as well as overnight trips which bag the twin peaks of Acatenango and Fuego (please contact the shop about the conditions of Fuego as this volcano awoke from a 20 year dormancy in 1999).

A largely agricultural country, Guatemala is absolutely covered in footpaths. Our hikes and treks retrace the ancient Mayan trails and trade routes that crisscross the Highlands. Whether you are looking for a half day hike or a multiday backpacking style trek, we have found amazing routes that link remote Mayan pueblos of Guatemala. The options are limitless so talk to our staff to find a hike that suits you!

We will lead expeditions to any peak in Guatemala, or can provide logistical support for those groups seeking to climb volcanoes apart from those listed on this web site.
