What To Do In Antigua, Guatemala
Hike Acatenango and watch Volcan Fuego explode
Senderismo Sis
When it comes to hiking Acatenango, our recommendation is to experience the mountain with the Sis Family. This is an authentic, community-based experience that offers a more personal and sustainable way to explore the volcano.
The hike follows part of the route on private trails through the family’s land on the mountain and focuses on respecting nature, supporting the local community, and sharing the history and culture of the area. With small groups and a strong connection to the people who live on the volcano, it offers a unique alternative to larger commercial tours.

Samsara
“At this small veggie cafe – sitting just the right side of hippie-dom – fresh organic ingredients are excitingly combined in soups, salads and drinks.
How about a kale, peanut butter and avocado smoothie?
For breakfast there’s quinoa porridge or banana and amaranth-seed pancakes, along with French-press coffee and numerous tea blends.” – Lonely Planet
