Buenos dias! Welcome to Guatemala. Your adventure kicks off with a welcome meeting at 10 am this morning. Enjoy a cup of locally grown coffee, then set off on an orientation walk with your local leader. After, your tour leader will help you find a nice local restaurant for lunch. This afternoon, hike through forest trails to a women-led regenerative farming project. Learn about sustainable agriculture, the importance of preserving native plants for future generations and, depending on the season, get hands-on with planting crops. Tonight, join a tortilla workshop at El Comalote. Discover the traditional significance of this delicious cuisine, then sit down for dinner with your local hosts.

This morning, travel to the town of La Soledad – the starting point of today’s hike. When you arrive, lace up your boots and set off through maize and vegetable fields, past the cloud forest and nearby volcanoes. Around midday, stop for lunch in the mid-mountain forest area. Then, continue hiking to base camp. Tonight, have dinner at camp with your fellow hikers and enjoy some free time to rest under the stars.

Wake up early this morning and prepare for the final assent to the summit of Acatenango Volcano. With panoramic views of the southern Mexican Highlands and the active Volcan de Fuego, the summit will offer a fantastic spot to watch the sunrise. Take it all in before hiking back to camp, where you’ll refuel with a hot breakfast before beginning the descent to La Soledad. After returning to town, travel back to Antigua. When you arrive this afternoon, maybe wander through town to find a local cafe for lunch, then maybe relax with a massage.

With no further activities today, it’s time to pack the hiking boots in your suitcase as your trip comes to an end this morning. If you'd like to extend your stay, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
