Acatenango 4×4 Volcano Tour

About this tour

Experience one of Guatemala’s most iconic volcanoes in a more accessible and comfortable way on this Acatenango 4×4 tour, offered by Ash Travel Antigua. This unique 2-day, 1-night experience combines off-road adventure, light hiking, and unforgettable volcanic scenery at Volcán de Acatenango. JUST FROM MONDAY TO THURSDAY.
