We take pride in always aiming for the highest quality in everything we do. We understand that you are looking for an adventure, but we also believe that you deserve the best in comfort and quality as a reward after a challenging hike.
No tents or garden shacks, but the highest quality of lodging available on the volcano! We have the only cabins with double walls and isolation to keep you as warm as possible. Our unique window wall allows you to admire Fuego erupting from the comfort of your bed. Providing a unique and the most comfortable experience available on the volcano.
Our guides are not only experienced and trained, most importantly, they love their job! Lava Trails believes that paying fair wages, working with the guides and valuing their input creates a healthy working environment.
Don't just believe us! Ask our guides why they love to work for us and why Lava Trails is different.
Lava Trails was born out of the idea to do more. Not only to give hikers the best experience possible, but also to give back to the local communities. We know that that is really easy to say, so we would like to invite you to come and see it yourself!
Extend your lava adventure with a night in the local community, reach out to us and attend the English classes we weekly offer to our guides and their families in the community or come and see the Acatenango youth football team play in our shirts.
Lava Trails just does more. We are always innovating and improving. Chocolate milk made from real cacao. Wet wipes to refresh yourself upon arrival at basecamp. Bunk beds raised from the floor in a double walled and isolated house. Small groups, not bigger than 20 people and 1 guide for every 6 hikers.
These are just a couple of examples unique to Lava Trails that set us apart from everyone else. Attention to details and unmatched quality.
O.M.G.! Honestly the most wholesome experience. It was my second time climbing the Acatenango and I could not have wished for a better tour operator. From beginning to end I felt in such good hands. It is a challenging hike but so worth it. And because of our professional guide, the comfortable and beautiful (!!!) cabins & the great food we've had, I can only recommend this operator to literally everyone. Do it!!!
Wonderful experience! Everything is super well organized by a motivated team. From good food to a range of material that you can borrow. After a tough, but beautiful trip you arrive at the well-kept mountain hut. Magnificent to get from your bed to the erupting volcano! Lava Trails is an absolute must!!
YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!! I’ve had such an incredible trip with Lava Trails. The guide was super knowledgeable, food was superb, but nothing tops the jaw-dropping views you get from the camp and your bed at the top!
Truly something unique that you cannot miss out on when you are in Guatemala! Highly recommend!
I cannot describe how amazing my experience with Lava Trails was!! The views of the volcano are unmatched from the cabins. And if you are not very prepared to climb the volcano, the Lava trails team can lend you everything you need. They also gave us 3 meals, snacks, tea and wine. And the very cozy cabins did not get cold and incredible views. Without a doubt I will live this experience again with Lava Trails.
Wow! The Lava Trails cabañas really are on another level! From your bed you have an excellent view of the Fuego volcano while you are nice and warm in your own sleeping bag on the mattress. Everything was arranged down to the last detail and the food was top notch. Highly recommended!!
You will not find a more beautiful and better accommodation on the volcano! The beds are comfortable and from bed you have the most amazing view of the volcano. In addition, the guide spoke very good English and the crew did everything they could to ensure that everyone had an unforgettable stay. In short: a 10/10 experience! I would recommend this to all my friends.
I have hiked Acatenango a total of 5 times and this experience with Lava Trails beat every one of those times. The cabins are another level - I truly enjoyed being inside warming up and chatting with my friends while having a floor to ceiling window view of the erupting volcano! Even during the night, there was no need for me to get out of my bed to see and experience Volcan de Fuego do its show. Definitely recommend it - there is nothing like it on Acatenango.
