Climbing Acatenango and Volcán de Fuego during a hailstorm | Guatemala | Episode 5

In this episode, I embark on the overnight Acatenango Trek. Arguably the most renowned trek in Central America, the Acatenango Trek is a unique experience where you get to sleep alongside two active volcanoes. It's steep, sweaty and a heap of fun (though the weather was not in my favour unfortunately).

Howdy folks, I'm Zoe, a solo traveller from Sydney, Australia.
From February to April 2023, I embarked on a trip from Mexico down to Colombia, through Central America.
I'll be making a video (or two) for each country I visited, where I documented some of my happiest and not so happy moments, and everything in between.
I'm a keen photographer and drone pilot, but I'm definitely no pro at this - it's just my own humble solo adventures.
Thanks for joining me on this journey!

[@fernandobarranco943]

I guess that’s an experience that changes your point of view about what’s important in life. I did pacaya when people was able to go to the top.

[@walkerlust]

I am so jealous!! I didn't see a thing at Pacaya. Such a shame

How is it that a girl from such a distant country comes to a little-known country like my beautiful Guatemala. I would like to know what attracted you to this country and how you spent it. Greetings from Guatemala City.

[@walkerlust]

Central America was always a dream destination for me! It's one of those trips you don't have to plan and just follow the classic gringo trail 🤣 Guatemala was top of my list for its natural beauty and landscape. It was truly beautiful and so glad I went! A lot of Australians take extended trips to the region. I'll be back someday 👀

[@Walter_Arrecis_Letona]

Wow... I didn't know, I thought that in those countries they didn't know anything about Central America, I'm glad that's the way it is and that you liked my country Guatemala, we look forward to seeing you next time and welcome. Greetings from Guatemala City.@@walkerlust

How did your drone do up there? Were the winds kind? I'm going next week!

[@walkerlust]

I have a Mavic 3 Classic, so it's very sturdy!! But the winds were definitely kinder than they were earlier in the morning 😂 enjoy the trip!! You'll love it

[@destinationdezz1588]

@@walkerlust thanks I have the mini 3 it’ll prolly get blown right away 😆

​@@destinationdezz1588ahaha you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Give it a go at least!

[@dmitriytyutyunik3120]

I'm doing the same exact tour with them, would you say you needed anything to bring of your own besides hiking shoes that you were not able to rent from them?

[@walkerlust]

No, they provide everything! Well, it depends which tour you book, but if you book Wicho and Charlie, it's all provided 😀

[@dmitriytyutyunik3120]

@@walkerlust awesome thank you, yeah I booked with them, they seemed worth the buck for what they offered

What is your IG?

[@youtubeseoexpertbd4]

I have visited your channel . and i saw your video is very good and your video thumbnail is also attractive . And your video quality is very good. But the problem is your video has not much engagement like not much Subscriber , views ,likes and comments . The first reason is your video keyword section area is not perfectly uploaded .At first you have fixed your video keyword section area , like if i shortly explain you , first of all you need to SEO related title and unique seo related attractive description and research keyword and according to your nish to rank your video . If you perfectly uploaded your video keyword section area and video keyword section area then your video will reach the top search result on youtube and google .
