"At one point in 2019, digital nomad Katie Macleod scaled the most active volcano overnight in Central America—Guatemala's Volcan de Fuego—before settling in for a day of work. “I saw large rocks of lava being spat out; glowing a sensational amber against the night sky, then slipping down the slope like little orange falling stars,” she says."

An absolutely breathtaking experience! This volcano is the true beauty of nature, almost as if it's alive and speaking to you every few minutes. The eruptions, especially at night, are mesmerizing, lighting up the sky in a way that's unforgettable. The clouds surrounding it add to the magic, creating a stunning and surreal atmosphere. Truly the best experience of my life—nature at its most awe-inspiring!

A truly one in a lifetime experience. So much so that I when I reached the peak I asked my partner to marry me! The hike is challenging but very doable. Step by step and breath by breath you will make it to the top and when you do: you will marvel in sheer awe at the glory of Mother Nature! Do it! Do it because you can 💚🙏🏻🌋

I came to visit my family in Guatemala and my uncle suggested we come to Volcan Fuego. I hike very often in L.A. but I didn't know what I was getting myself into with this one. We started at 1am and finished until 1pm. It was VERY tiring but it was the most amazing hike I've ever done in my life.

Back to back eruptions even better than expected. The hike is not too hard but don’t underestimate the altitude symptoms. Bring more water. The camp base was not so great when we were there but it seems like there are now private huts available. Anyway the volcano is epic and definitely worth it.

Volcán de Fuego, stunning! Get ready though, the hike is no joke. They don’t tell you how steep the steps are. Worth it!!

Truly an amazing, once in a lifetime experience. I suggest arriving in Antigua a day or two before to acclimate to the higher elevation. I also recommend bringing hand warmers and more layers than you think you need because it gets REAL COLD up there. We attempted to summit Acatenango around 4 am but the conditions were unfortunately too cloudy. I do think the local government should do something about the trash situation.The amount of litter and toilet paper strewn about took away from the overall experience. Educating visitors on Leave No Trace principles and perhaps increasing the entrance fee in an effort to clean up the area could possibly help preserve the area for generations to come.
