Wonderful!
daviddE226AN, September 2026
Did a solo hike and booked with OX, highly recommend! Everyone was so nice and helpful. I speak English and Spanish but their guides were bilingual. They both answered any questions and concerns while also encouraging you through out the hike. The view from the top of Volcano Fuego was unforgettable!

Challenge but worth is
chadly74, September 2026
They were very responsive through their website to book. Their communication lacks a bit and you learn stuff in the pre-meeting that was not on the infographic. But an amazing experience. The trek to base camp is challenging but very doable. The trek up Fuego is steeper and loose rock but doable. The summit was very hard. The pitch was insane. But the volcano and what you see is worth all of it.

Beautiful experience with some significant issues

I did the Acatenango + Fuego overnight hike with OX Expeditions in April. Looking back on the experience, I have mixed feelings. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and our guides were wonderful — very kind, attentive, and genuinely lovely people.
There are, however, a couple of things I think OX could improve.
First, food and wine were distributed among the participants, but we were only informed about this the evening before the hike. I had packed a backpack specifically for my own things and calculated the weight accordingly, so this unexpected extra load was a problem. I ended up having to use a larger backpack and hire a porter. I think this information should be provided well in advance so people can plan their packing and weight accordingly.
The second issue was the cold at the camp. It was EXTREMELY cold at night, to the point where basically nobody in our group could sleep. We wore all the clothes we had, including jackets and hats, and were still shaking from the cold. The sleeping bags simply were not adequate for the temperatures we experienced. Unfortunately, because I got literally no sleep, I wasn’t able to do the Acatenango summit hike in the morning, which was very disappointing.
The hike itself and the views were unforgettable, and I’m very grateful to our guides. However, I think these issues are important to address, especially the sleeping conditions, as they had a real impact on the experience.

Exceptionally well organised hike.
robincY9227ZZ, September 2026
Exceptionally well organised hike up Acatenango. Liam was an excellent guide always attentive and safe. Dont be shy of the big group dynamics ( we were about 25) it worked very well indeed sharing the experience with so many diverse people. The food was generous and tasty. Great trip thoroughly recommended.
