00:00hey what's up guys today we are doing something very hard we are going to hike
00:07Volcano Acatenango
00:24we've got our stick our big backpack and we are going to hike the volcano Acatenango where we
00:32are going to have a great view over the other volcano Fuego let's hope the weather is good
00:38today it's a little bit cloudy and if it's going to stay cloudy we're doing all this for nothing
00:52we just started out we did the first few hundred meters the group is pretty big this is our group
01:00and we're going to hike for four four and a half hours depending on the pace and it's
01:08going uphill only with very sandy ground look like this it's gonna be tough
01:22it's already one of the hardest hikes I've ever been to it's just been 40 minutes or something
01:29and guess what just reached the entrance are you kidding me here at the entrance we have to register for
01:39the volcano
01:44first hour everything was dry a lot of dust now all of the sudden there's jungle why the fuck is
01:52there jungle now
01:53but at least we have shadow in the jungle that's good
02:03I'm loving it and those dogs they're just coming with us the whole way hiking dogs we started approximately at
02:152,700 meters and we are going up to almost 4,000
02:22the hike itself is super beautiful but it's uphill only there hasn't been like one meter just flat it's only
02:31uphill
02:33we reached the third stop it's getting pretty cold already t-shirt is not enough anymore and on the fourth
02:41stop we're gonna have lunch
02:57we reached the fourth stop now it's lunch time we got some nice stuff we had to carry it up
03:05of course and after we eat it our baggage will be lighter
03:14we got rice some vegetables chicken
03:19some vegetables chicken
03:22bon appetit
03:23lunch was great and we are refreshed and we continue upwards
03:29apparently now is the hardest part of the track let's see how hard it can get
03:35but we are a few hundred meters more up now and you can see the vegetation changing drastically
03:43there's pine trees now why am i doing this can't just go up there by horse
03:54i feel like i'm in a lot of rings
03:59hiking the volcano
04:01the top
04:02throwing the ring inside
04:04the air is getting thinner and thinner
04:07there's almost no trees left
04:09it's just grass now
04:12we still can't see the top
04:14but we are already above the clouds
04:26it's getting pretty hard to breathe
04:29you're taking a break
04:30and you think okay
04:32i'm fit again
04:33you walk ten meters up
04:35it's like wow
04:37can't
04:38now we are entering
04:39the spooky forest
04:41look at that
04:48we reached the next level
04:50the vegetation changed again
04:53there's almost nothing left
04:55just rocks
04:57and a few trees
04:58it's surreal
05:01but at least
05:02it's not as deep as before
05:05so we can walk a little bit straight now
05:12oh my god
05:14we did it
05:15we reached the base camp
05:18there it is
05:35and this is where we are going to sleep
05:41and this is our tent
05:48we are going to sleep
05:48those guys came up in the house
05:50and now they take a nap
05:51because it was so exhausting
05:52right?
05:54let's clean up those shoes
06:01we hiked up here
06:02for four hours
06:04now we are up
06:05and we can't see anything
06:07because there are clouds
06:09everybody who wants
06:10can still hike
06:11to Fuego
06:12to see the lava flows
06:14it's another
06:16five hours
06:18back and forth
06:20two hours up
06:21two hours down
06:23and I'm not sure
06:24if I can do it
06:25because my legs
06:27are very tired
06:29maybe I should just enjoy the view here
06:31and every ten minutes
06:33there is an eruption
06:34you can hear it
06:35really loud
06:36sounds like a thunderstorm
06:39and it's a bit scary
06:40because
06:41you can't see anything
06:44and you don't know
06:45if something is flying your way
06:47you know
06:47there has been a huge eruption
06:49two days ago
06:51so it's not very unlikely
06:53we are going to Fuego now
06:55there is only a small group left
06:56the rest is too tired
06:58chilling up there
07:00they are not doing anything
07:02but yeah let's hope it's worth it
07:05two hours to go there
07:06two hours to go back
07:07let's go
07:12yeah that's where we are walking right now
07:18it's approximately two kilometers away from here
07:25we are going down there
07:28and then we are going up to that ridge over there
07:32and we already hiked for five hours today
07:36there it is
07:37disrupting
07:39we are very close
07:41probably one kilometer away
07:43we are halfway to the ridge
07:46and I am already regretting coming
07:49I have to go back there
07:52up there
07:55fuck

08:37you shouldn't be here
08:39this is not a place where humans should be
08:42yeah
08:43we made it to the top of the ridge
08:46the volcano is just
08:48next to us
08:50but we can't see it because it's so cloudy
08:52we are going to stay here for
08:5420 minutes only
08:56because then we need to head back
08:59let's hope it clears up
09:00in the next few minutes

09:35I seriously didn't think I'd make it back
09:38this was the most exhausting hike I've ever done
09:42by far
09:43on the way I really thought
09:45I'm not going to make it
09:48it was so steep
09:50sandy
09:52right now I had to rest for
09:55like 20 minutes
09:56I couldn't even sit
09:57I had to lie down
09:59and on the way back up here
10:01really I almost vomited
10:04out of exhaustion
10:07I didn't even know that's possible
10:11I'm really looking forward
10:13to sleeping
10:15I'm just gonna wait for another
10:17eruption because I didn't film any yet
10:20I was too busy
10:21dying on the way up
10:23you know
10:23we were only going there to the ridge
10:26of Fuego to see the lava flows
10:28and the eruption up close
