Overview
This challenging 10 day tour takes you up 4 different volcanoes in Guatemala’s impressive volcano range. One hike takes you up an active volcano where you can see lava flowing, and you can even roast your own marshmallow! The second includes an overnight stay on a volcano, to see eruptions from adjacent volcano Fuego light up the sky at night, and to see an impressive sunrise from the summit the next morning. Thirdly, you’ll climb Santa Maria, which is said to have the best views in all of Guatemala. The last volcano is the mighty Tajumulco, the highest point of Central America! Here you'll watch the most memorable and rewarding sunrise of your life. 4 volcanoes in 10 days means enough time to catch your breath, but also means you’ll have achieved something to be proud of the rest of your life!
