Tajumulco is the highest volcano in all of Central America. Tajumulco has two peaks. The higher peak at 4220 m has a crater 50 meters in diameter. The lower peak has an altitude of 4,100 meters. One of the best hikes in Guatemala brings us to the highest point in Central America where we have a beautiful view on every volcano in Guatemala. At sunrise you will see the chain of volcanoes along the Pacific coast of Guatemala, but also the Pacific Ocean and Mexico. The walk takes 2 days in total: the first day we pick you up at 6:00h from your hotel / hostel and take you to our office to distribute food and equipment among hikers. After this we travel by public transport to San Marcos, and an other bus to our starting point of the hike which lies at 2900m. The first part of the hike takes about 2 ½ hours, up to 4000m, where we set up camp on a flat surface. We will then climb to the summit, which lies at 4220 m, and takes about an hour to complete. The next morning we climb back to the top to enjoy the view and the sunrise before descending again and return to Xela.
