Another Guatemala travel vlog, where the Acatenango volcano hike really busted my ass. Acatenanto is an active volcano in Guatemala and Volcan de Fuego is the one you climb to watch it explode. Hiking an active volcano was definitely not easy.

Always love to listen to your travels. And your honesty. This was not a failure. It was a lesson learned. Remember that many people would not have the ability to go where you went. It's always interesting to hear about things from your perspective.

Diana, you are much too hard on yourself. The effects of altitude sickness can start at 8,000 feet, so if you reached 13,000 feet in a matter of hours carrying a backpack in the heat, you were very likely experiencing the symptoms of altitude sickness. You powered through it and very often the painful experiences in life tend to be the most memorable and growth promoting. Even in your altered state of consciousness some of the images you captured were amazing. Being that close to an active volcano spewing smoke and ash is outstanding. I think at some point in the future you will look back on this experience much more positively than today. Keep up the excellent work and try to stay a little closer to sea level for a while 😁

I love this video. I was planning on doing this hike someday and it sets good expectations. There are so many other videos out there of this hike that it certainly seems moderate enough. it was also a shame that you did not see the volcano erupt.

This resonates with me so much. I hiked acatanango may 19th, close to the end of my 7 month solo trip through south & central america. So so many people I had met hyped it up as their best experience while travelling. Yet when I was finally doing it, I felt this sense of regret and frustration about taking it on. Similarly to you, I had a very hard time getting up there, we had a group of 40 and I was always way at the back (which didnt bother me, just found it frustrating they always waited at the breakpoints to keep the groups together), I want to hike slowly, enjoying nature at my own pace. Although the guide that stayed with us was nice, I still felt a bit rushed. absolutely zero vision of fuego at night, only clouds. No lava to be seen, nor even any erruptions at any point. Didn't manage to get any sleep because it was so so so cold. During the hike to the top at 4am I felt super ill, but I pushed and pushed to be able to reach summit, only to cry upon arrival because I felt such a feeling of disappointment that I thought it wasn't worth it. Thinking back ofcourse I saw amazing scenery and it was definitely beautiful, but similar to you it's just not how I like to travel and experience these things. Definitely very different from the wholesome experience I had envisioned, lol. It's so cool to see how you went to so many of the same places as I did in these last videos! Your Mexico video actually played a big roll in inspiring me to take this big trip on. So Thank you so much for that

Great video! I did this hike last year (in addition to other group hikes), and it is exactly that, a GROUP hike with little to no freedom or independence. The bigger the group, the worst it is in my opinion. I always prefer a small group to gain some level of freedom.

You're one of those women I see who choose to travel alone and explore places alone and meet new people and make new friends in every new places, somehow that's enjoying your freedom and your free will, that is such a good experience in life to have, a good memory to treasure, some memories that money can't buy, and that's a very good and a very wise idea that you've done in life that you will carry with you as you grow old, and the happy memories with the people you've met will always makes you stay strong and happy all along the way as life goes on..💙
