Acatenango volcano hike busted my ass 

Always love to listen to your travels. And your honesty. This was not a failure. It was a lesson learned. Remember that many people would not have the ability to go where you went. It's always interesting to hear about things from your perspective.

Guatemala is a beautiful and inexpensive country! Good organic food everywhere!

Whoever is reading this, never give up. God is with you. 👌👌👌👌

I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work.

Stunning volcano scene! Apparently it was a very tough hiking but I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing your experience.👏 Greetings from Japan.

It's really fun to watch the awesome contents of this video.😀👍👍

Diana, you are much too hard on yourself. The effects of altitude sickness can start at 8,000 feet, so if you reached 13,000 feet in a matter of hours carrying a backpack in the heat, you were very likely experiencing the symptoms of altitude sickness. You powered through it and very often the painful experiences in life tend to be the most memorable and growth promoting. Even in your altered state of consciousness some of the images you captured were amazing. Being that close to an active volcano spewing smoke and ash is outstanding. I think at some point in the future you will look back on this experience much more positively than today. Keep up the excellent work and try to stay a little closer to sea level for a while 😁

This is literally breathtaking presentation, such a mesmerizing and enjoyable piece of content my friend! 🔥🔥

The Georgian poet is back. Looking as glowing and radiant as ever my dear. Outstanding VLOG

I love this video. I was planning on doing this hike someday and it sets good expectations. There are so many other videos out there of this hike that it certainly seems moderate enough. it was also a shame that you did not see the volcano erupt.

This resonates with me so much. I hiked acatanango may 19th, close to the end of my 7 month solo trip through south & central america. So so many people I had met hyped it up as their best experience while travelling. Yet when I was finally doing it, I felt this sense of regret and frustration about taking it on. Similarly to you, I had a very hard time getting up there, we had a group of 40 and I was always way at the back (which didnt bother me, just found it frustrating they always waited at the breakpoints to keep the groups together), I want to hike slowly, enjoying nature at my own pace. Although the guide that stayed with us was nice, I still felt a bit rushed. absolutely zero vision of fuego at night, only clouds. No lava to be seen, nor even any erruptions at any point. Didn't manage to get any sleep because it was so so so cold. During the hike to the top at 4am I felt super ill, but I pushed and pushed to be able to reach summit, only to cry upon arrival because I felt such a feeling of disappointment that I thought it wasn't worth it. Thinking back ofcourse I saw amazing scenery and it was definitely beautiful, but similar to you it's just not how I like to travel and experience these things. Definitely very different from the wholesome experience I had envisioned, lol. It's so cool to see how you went to so many of the same places as I did in these last videos! Your Mexico video actually played a big roll in inspiring me to take this big trip on. So Thank you so much for that

Great video! I did this hike last year (in addition to other group hikes), and it is exactly that, a GROUP hike with little to no freedom or independence. The bigger the group, the worst it is in my opinion. I always prefer a small group to gain some level of freedom.

Solo las CAMPEONAS. Suben el volcan. Tu eres una campeona, lo lograste. Para subir el volcan no necesitas yoga. Tienes que tener buena condicion fisica. Saludos y abrazos de Guate ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

It's heart warming to watch you..💙 and heart warming to see those view even just through your video, actually it's heart melting to see the views for how beautiful they are, I can Imagine how beautiful they are in reality and how exciting to see it and be there and experience to be at those beautiful place that not many people can get a chance to experience to explore the places and get a chance to see that there are some places in this world that are so wonderful like those places and it's so amazing to know that those places can exist in our mind and even in our reality also..💙

♥️👍🇬🇹Welcome to Guate!

👍👍👍👍

That’s a bummer, having a bad day in a foreign land.

What company did you use? I’m interested in a company that has horses

Nice, but next time you should check that you have the right equipment like hiking tall shoes. Tall shoes prevent ash from going into them.

welcome India sister

I just want to congratulate you for completing the hike, even if you didn’t enjoy it. Challenges is not for enjoyment, it’s for self gratification! What month did you do this hike? Thank you 😊

Pretty hike:) i was curious Diana, how many languages do you speak? Looking forward to your next video!

I am sorry you did not enjoy it! But I do hope you are proud of yourself! I am a 34 year old guatemalan with Acatenango being 2 hours away from me and I have never done that hike.

Why everyone's backpack looks so huge? Are they taking all their belongings up the mountain just for one night? Couldn't they have left the majority of the stuff back at the tour office?

Hi which month did you go? 😊

Let me tell you this if you want to watch the best of the Volcano make sure you come at the time where the Volcano is not cloud, check the Months where you will have the best to see clear for next time.

How do you have money to do all of this. I hope this doesn’t come off rude. Do you have a job that allows you to work and travel? Do you work and work and work and then save money and travel?

This adventure is not for everyone, but for people with common sense who understand that weather conditions are a matter of luck. It is really unfortunate that the guides did not use their superpowers to clear the sky for you.

maybe disappointment was inevitable after two years of anticipation?

its much harder then it looks 🤣

Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as you wanted. It's hard sometimes with groups but at least you met "Dora the explorer" 😂 And learned more about you! Take care and stay safe 🙏❤️🇬🇧
