Great tour and great attention given to everyone on the trip. Everything supplied to make it comfortable. Alex is a very capable driver too. Thank you!

Increíble experiencia con Mayan Outdoors. Los guías fueron muy profesionales, atentos y siempre brindaron apoyo lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera realmente inolvidable. Las vistas del Volcán de Fuego fueron impresionantes y todo estuvo muy bien organizado. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente!

We had a fantastic time with Mayan outdoors! My kids ages 6&8, my husband, and my dad went on the private 4x4 overnight tour with me and it was an amazing experience! Emilio was an amazing driver and very kind to us! Walter was our guide and took good care of us! The sleeping accommodations were as described with lots of extra blankets in case you are cold. The view of Mount fuego from just in front of our cabin was perfect. The hike from the 4x4 drop off point was reasonable and we had plenty of time. Bring TP and antibacterial hand wash. We brought hand warmers and our own clothes since we wanted to be sure we stayed warm. They had a lot of winter coats to choose from. I used a large hiking backpack from them that was in great condition, the had several to chose from. What an amazing experience!

Me encantó el tour!! Toto y alexander excelentes guias!! Super recomendados!

Muchas Gracias por el Tours , El Guía turístico Fue Daniel , Exelente , muy amable y buena persona !! Genial

Tenía miedo de reservar con cualquier agencia el tour a Acatenango, la verdad muy feliz con la experiencia con Mayan, desde la reservación hasta el conductor, sin hablar de los guías que cocinaron para nosotros y nos acompañaron en todo. Creo que fue mejor de lo que estaba su gestión, gracias por todo

We joined the 4x4 tour to Acatenango with Mayan Outdoors and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Our guides, Walter and Adolfo, were outstanding. They were professional, knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel safe and supported throughout the entire journey. The tour followed the schedule exactly, with pickup at 11 am from the meeting point in Antigua and return the next morning at 10 am. After organizing our gear at the company office, we headed into the beautiful nature reserve and began the hike toward Base Camp. Reaching the camp at 3,550 meters was unforgettable. The views from the camp were breathtaking, with Volcano Agua to the southeast, Acatenango beneath us, and the active Volcano de Fuego right beside it. From the moment we arrived, the experience became surreal. Throughout the afternoon, night, and early morning we witnessed dozens of volcanic eruptions from Volcano de Fuego. As the sky became darker, the red lava lit up the night in a dramatic and unforgettable way. Every ten to fifteen minutes the volcano surprised us again. The Base Camp facilities were excellent. We slept in a clean and well organized cabin shared by six people, with thick mattresses, sleeping bags, and extra blankets. Anyone who is sensitive to cold should bring heat packs, which helped us a lot. 
We were also treated to hot chocolate, dinner, and breakfast, which made the experience even better. For those who want to explore more, the guides offer optional hikes from Base Camp for an additional fee. Highly recommended for anyone who has the energy to continue and wants to get even closer to the landscape. We spent the night with a group of sixteen travelers from around the world. It was very cold, but the shared experience, the bonfire, and the view of the volcano created an atmosphere we will never forget. The sunrise the next morning was one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. We returned to Antigua tired but incredibly happy, knowing we had just experienced something truly unique. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Guatemala.

Realmente una experiencia increíble, me encantó todo de este viaje. La pasé increíble y los guías son muy divertidos Walter, Erick y Daniel siempre muy atentos y animando a todo el grupo. Definitivamente los recomendaré

Absolutely loved my experience with Mayan outdoors for the 4x4 overnight Acatenango tour as a solo traveler! If you want to see stunning Fuego eruptions without the grueling hike to the Acatenango base camp, this really is the perfect way to do so. The hike from the 4x4 drop-off to base camp is only about 45 minutes and easily manageable for most people. Our guides, Daniel, Brian and Walter were amazing. My deepest gratitude to Daniel for his encouragement and support during the additional Fuego hike, which I found to be extremely challenging. I was quite slow and honestly not in great shape (attempting this hike was probably a mistake on my part), and I likely added a couple of hours to the trip. Daniel’s patience and kindness truly meant a lot —thank you once again. Tips for anyone planning this trip: 1. Read and follow the instructions sent in advance. 2. Wear good hiking shoes - it makes a difference 3. Dress in layers: the hike can get warm, but base camp is very cold at night. Make sure the jacket you choose is warm enough 5. Bring wet wipes and hand sanitizer, and please wipe the seat before and after each use for everyone’s sake. 6. Do not expect luxury accommodations. The cabin was solid and comfortable for me, accommodating 6-8 people. The bathroom was not the cleanest, which was expected given the remote location and shared setting. 7. If you want a good spot in the cabin next to the window choose early :). 8. Re-consider doing the Fuego hike unless you are in decent shape. It can be very challenging, the weather can be unpredictable (it was somewhat cloudy and extremely windy by the time we reached the top), you might significantly slow down the group and the guides (who are tired as well given they often do this hike daily during dry season), and the views from the base camp is already stunning. In addition, although this hike is often marketed as a 3-hour, medium-difficulty hike, a quick search shows it can easily take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours depending on your fitness level and the crowd on that day. 9. If doing the Fuego hike, bring something to cover your eyes and nose with, just in case it ends up being windy at the summit. Also ideally, ensure there are two guides—one for faster hikers and one for slower ones—unless you’re comfortable either slowing others down or waiting for long periods. 10. Communicate your needs clearly. You are ultimately responsible for your own safety. If your headlamp dims or you need to slow down, speak up 11. Tip the guides generously and leave a review if you can. They put in an incredible amount of effort, often hiking daily throughout the dry season, and truly deserve recognition. Most importantly—have fun. Being able to experience this tour is an immense blessing. And if you make mistakes along the way, as I did, treat them as learning experiences. Seeing a live volcano in action up close is nothing short of extraordinary. Mayan Tours was a fantastic company to work with, and I am very glad I chose them. The guides also spoke highly of the company, which matters to me—I would like to support an organization that takes good care of its staff.
