Acatenango

Acatenango is a stratovolcano in Guatemala, close to the city of Antigua. It is part of the mountain range of the Sierra Madre. The volcano has two peaks, Pico Mayor (Highest Peak) and Yepocapa (3,880 m) which is also known as Tres Hermanas (Three Sisters). Acatenango is joined with Volcán de Fuego and collectively the volcano complex is known as La Horqueta. Climbing Acatenango is one of Guatemala's most notable tourist attractions; several outfitters have built base camp with cabins for hikers to visit on an overnight trek to view eruptions of Fuego.
