3 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedThe 4WD 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.Acatenango Volcano
