Subí el volcán de Fuego durante la noche para disfrutar de un amanecer inolvidable, ¡y no me decepcionó! Aunque es un ascenso desafiante, el esfuerzo vale cada paso. La vista al amanecer es impresionante, con el cielo teñido de tonos que van desde el naranja hasta el violeta, y la sensación de estar sobre las nubes es increíble. Si estás buscando una aventura única en la vida y tienes buena condición física, este lugar es para ti. ¡Una experiencia que repetiría sin dudar!

TLDR:
- Was worth the effort and 200Q cost of doing the Fuego add-on.
- But really is much harder than the initial hike up to base camp, so decide on Fuego add-on based on how you found the hike to base camp.

Was very difficult:
- I'm not in super shape, had worried about even getting up to base camp given how hard everyone says it is, but in the end actually found that quite easy.
- But the extra hike to the Fuego Ridge was much harder.
- In our group of 6 who did the Fuego add-on, I was 5th fastest, just about kept up with the others: we left base camp about 6pm and got back 22h30pm.
- But the last guy really struggled, got back after midnight, needed a second guide to go and join him and both physically supported him the whole way back to camp.
- So wouldn't recommend if you struggled getting to base camp, as Fuego you'll never manage.

But worth it in my opinion, once in a lifetime opportunity to get that close. And was incredible seeing lava come out.

Our group went super late (left base camp about 6pm), a bit disorganised by the tour company, but bonus is all the other groups which got there for sunset had left, we had the ridge to ourselves. And better to see lava later : I was a bit disappointed on arriving as first explosion was just a few dribbles, didn't seem worth the 2h it took to get there from base camp. But then saw two or three big explosions, was incredible.

I came to visit my family in Guatemala and my uncle suggested we come to Volcan Fuego. I hike very often in L.A. but I didn't know what I was getting myself into with this one. We started at 1am and finished until 1pm. It was VERY tiring but it was the most amazing hike I've ever done in my life.

Volcán de Fuego, stunning! Get ready though, the hike is no joke. They don’t tell you how steep the steps are. Worth it!!

Great experience, worth every step. It's not the easiest hike I've done, but we'll worth it
