We were a small group of 12 people with 2 guides so that faster people could go in their pace but slower people also had a guide. There were regular stops where we waited for the whole group. Until the lunch break you can also buy some drinks or snacks from little huts on the way. The basecamp is higher than other camps and has a spectacular view on Fuego. The huts are basic but protect from the nasty winds. Given the group size of 12 we shared a Hut with 4. If your group…”

The marshmallow roasting was a fun ending! After the hike we drove about 40 minutes to a fancy resort for the lunch, then went on the ‘thermal circuit’. We didn’t get much for instructions so ask questions! There were four small pools ranging from something like 75 to 105 F. Free smoothies too! It felt quite luxurious! Our driver simply waited until we were done, so we…”

Sebastian was very friendly and happy to answer all of my questions. The lady working at the front desk was also super helpful advising us on what to pack and also lent us some warm clothes including jumpers, beanies and gloves. Our guides David and Willy truly made the experience extra special. They walked at our pace and were always supportive when the track…”
