Hiking Volcán de Fuego was by far the TOUGHEST hike andytorres_a and I have ever done in our lives 🥲🌋

We got lucky because the hike had just reopened during our visit and although we didn’t get the eruption that we had hoped, but we got to see baby sparks!! 🤩🔥

Fuego currently isn’t active now but if you are still down for the hike, here are some things to note:
- bring a face mask because it is REALLLLY dusty
- wear lotsss of sun screen and apply it throughout the hike
- had to bring dry shampoo from amika and it was a game changer
- bring lots of water and snacks. But if you feel like you didn’t bring enough (like us), they sell them throughout the hike!
- you can pay someone to carry your bags up for you. It costs 500 Quetzal (~$65 USD) one way
- you can rent out gear from the tour guides (boots, pants, jackets, headlamps, gloves, etc)
- hydrateeee and carb up before the hike — you’ll need it 🥲

It took us closer to 5 hours to reach the top, and 3 hours back. There is another option to hike an additional 4 hours closer to the tip but I was sooo drained, I could barely walk 🥲 Lastly, we booked our tour through viator and couldn’t have asked for better tour guides from tasaguatemala — gracias Luis y Eduardo!! 🥾🧗‍♂️
