The 8 best two-day trips in Guatemala, strongest first. Every entry carries its price, its length, and the detail that separates it from the one underneath it.
A tough 2-day Acatenango hike from Antigua with cabin sleep, sunrise at altitude, and eruptions of El Fuego in Guatemala.
“Amazing experience, one in a lifetime for sure. The guides could have been much better. None of them spoke a single word in english and you could not see them most of the time. Besides that, great experience.”
2-day Acatenango hike from Antigua with a guide, sleeping by Volcán de Fuego eruptions and chasing sunrise views. From $53 plus extras.
“Abner was really the best guide you could ask for. Very patient and informative. The views were worth every step of the way. (The food wasn’t my favorite so I would recommend bringing extra snacks.)”
2-day Acatenango hike near Antigua with local guide, warm cabins, meals, and Fuego eruption views from base camp, $98.
“It was an amazing experience, you trully connect with Mother Nature. My only complain is that the guides should take control of the traffic of the people going in opposite direction, we got stuck several times due this situation.”
Hike Acatenango overnight with dome camping, starry skies, sunrise summit views, and a chance to see Fuego’s glow from Antigua.
“The activity was good but the worth of money spent was a disappointment. People whom I shared a tent with have paid 2 times less for the experience than I did because they broke it at the hotel not online. I have said 125$ for the same experience they paid 65$.”
Acatenango overnight hike from Antigua. Diverse trails, cold-night campsite with Fuego eruptions, and a summit scramble with huge views.
“This was probably the most challenging thing I have done but also the most incredible experience I have ever had! Just a word of advice to take the following: wet wipes, tissues, head lamp (or torch) for early morning summit, hiking poles (they make such a difference) and obliviously warm clothing (it gets freezing at night).”
A 2-day Guatemala highlands trip combining Chichicastenango market, Santo Tomás church rituals, and a Lake Atitlán boat tour with volcano views.
“Honestly I would not do this tour again. It would be easier to book in pieces by yourself. I thought that it was a group tour that stayed together for the two days but it isn’t. After the allotted time in chichicastenango I went back to the shuttle and found out it was going back to Antigua not Panajachel and so I got dropped off on the side of the road to a different shuttle. Day two of the tour ended up going smoothly but day one was a mess. Would all have gone much smoother if the company communicated ahead of time - wasn’t concerned when I thought everyone…”
See Tikal and Yaxhá in 2 days from Flores or El Remate, with guides, meals, hotel night, and a big dose of ancient Maya.
“wonderful experience overall for both days. Erdozain was the best tour guide one could ask for. Very knowledgeable and well equipped to fulfill a great experience. Highly Highly recommend for anyone letting to tour Tikal or Yaxha.”
Two days hiking Acatenango from Antigua, sleeping in dome cabins and watching Fuego erupt, with sunrise on the summit. Spanish guide.
“Nous avons passé un magnifique moment ! Nos guides étaient top, à faire absolument. Attention demande une bonne forme physique, l’ascension est un gros défi, qu’elle soit jusqu’au camp de base, avec l’extra fuego ou jusqu’au sommet.”
