Here at Trek Guatemala, we're proud of our Travel Philanthropy efforts and are amazed at the kindness of our guests! This past weekend, our manager Tomas Lopez Sanchez dropped off guest-donated school supplies, clothing, and sports equipment at the La Soledad Middle School. La Soledad is home to the Acatenango Overnight Hike trailhead and also to the local porters we use for our tours. Giving back feels good!

Trek Guatemala is proud to be featured in the August 2023 issue of Travel + Leisure magazine! "This Antigua-based outfitter specializes in one-of-a-kind adventure tours, including overnight hikes to the peak of Acatenango and a multiday glamping expedition from Antigua to Lake Atitlán."

Adventurers flock to Antigua, Guatemala, for its proximity to lakes and volcanoes, but the historic capital’s boutiques, luxury hotels, and new restaurants are just as appealing.

Hiking through the Guatemalan cloud forest along our 4-Day Antigua to Atitlán Trek is a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience that immerses adventurers in a mystical world of towering green trees and vibrant epiphytes. Waves of mist slowly envelop the landscape as panoramic views of lush valleys and distant volcanic peaks are revealed. The journey through this living paradise not only provides an exhilarating physical challenge but also nurtures a deep appreciation for the delicate balance of nature and the profound beauty that lies within Guatemala's cloud-kissed heart.

Guatemala has some of the best coffee in the world! We of course feature it on all of our tours. During our four day Antigua to Atitlan Trek, we even stop at a small batch coffee farm to learn about how it's cultivated, harvested, and roasted.

Antigua's Fuego volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, has been erupting frequently since the Spanish conquest. It's a perfect destination for your next adventure, as it's constantly active at a low level, with small gas and ash eruptions typically every 15 to 20 minutes. Our Acatenango Overnight Base Camp sits eye level with Fuego's crater, just over 2 km away, and always puts in an incredible nighttime show!
