Morning view on Acatenango
Getting to love Guatemala more and more every day. Morning view at the base camp at 3600m. Remembering those moments from last night being only several hundred meters away from the active volcano. It usually erupts several times per hour and sometimes more, so only while drinking my hot chocolate in the morning I saw three eruptions. My best hike for sure. Would you love to experience this?

There is nothing beautiful than nature
Thank you for sharing your experience, what a great capture! I would love to visit such a place, but unfortunately my budget wouldn't stretch that far! I love the feet in the middle, as you have added a human element to your shot, showing you were in a moment of peace and I imagine amazement! Great shot, I need to hike to some amazing places soon!!!!!
Thanks @theexplorer ! Appreciate the feedback! It was indeed an amazing morning, the night even better! Will share more epic moments later
Wow that looks amazing :) Would love to have a view like that. Guatemala just made my bucketlist :D
Guatemala is a gem! Will release a video later to give you a better feeling!
Wow would love to see that =)
That's a beautiful shot. It makes me sad. We were going to go to renew our visa's there then back to Mexico. Didn't make it though.
Enjoy!
Thanks @carolynstahl ! And I am really sorry for you. But yeah do it if you have another chance, one of my most memorable experiences. They say it will be too dangerous in a few years to see it that close
Really. I'll have to get there sooner.
Nature is everything.
Totally!
Wow, how cool is that!!
It was incredible! We also came closer to about 500m from it
Safety comes first :)
yeah that'd be really cool to go see... also 3600m is crazy high. How much altitude gain is the hike from the trailhead?
The summit is 4000m. Base camp at 3600. The starting altitude is close to 2000m I think. It is quite easy to reach the base camp, but the additional hike to Volcan de Fuego was one of my hardest hikes ever. Going down from Acatenango and then up Fuego, and the same on the way back, while being in a hurry not to miss the sunset.
This view is powerful, I would also like take a picture of this :)) cool ... I hope you make more this photos :)
I like this
That would be an amazing experience. Perfect shot. Enjoy your hot chocolate!😉
Thanks @glaiza! 🤗
