The 4x4 vehicle will take us up to 80% of the road and the rest of the way we will go up on foot. The car ride will take us around 60-90 minutes and we will appreciate different landscapes all the way up. Once we arrive at the vehicle drop-off point, we will begin our hike to the summit. This is the last part of the volcano, the tip. This hike requires good physical condition both muscular and endurance as the path is quite steep and sandy. It will take us one and a half to two hours to walk to the top but the scenery will make it all worth it.

When we reach the volcano's summit, you will have free time to take pictures, and enjoy, and appreciate the breathtaking views. After this time we will start our walk to the base camp which is at the altitude where our 4x4 vehicle is parked. Once we are there, you will have time to continue enjoying the fantastic view of Volcán de Fuego and the range of neighbouring volcanoes. Also, you will have a camping-style meal. If you go up in the early morning to see the sunrise, we will give you a breakfast of pancakes and coffee. We will give you a sandwich and coffee if you go up to see the sunset. On both occasions, we will also give you a portion of banana bread. You will recharge your energy to start our 40-minute walk to return to the 4x4 vehicle which will take us back to Antigua Guatemala.
