Hello Vargas!! It was incredible 😲 an amazing place in the world. But we did some pretty cool things in Nicaragua too 😉 Hope you check these out

[@Vargaseliza]

[@andrezzzc]

la primera toma quedó muy épica

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Oh my God, the spot was crazy. We were so surprised.The drone almost got eaten by lava 🤣

[@AndresTapia-qe9zg]

that was an amazing way to start your day. 🙏

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Oh yes a tough one but a good one 😅

[@SairaLinares-uw3kj]

Parece como cuando voy al volcán de izalco sonsonate sólo qe yo acortar café pero es chevere

[@MaxandJacqueline]

[@raulmonterroso9106]

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Than kyou Raul 😀😋

[@SairaLinares-uw3kj]

Qe bonito sería salir así 😊

[@MaxandJacqueline]

¡Fue una caminata increíble! Nos encantó. Fue muy difícil pero realmente valió la pena.

[@artdirector9517]

Waww amazing video this one is epic 👍

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Well coming from an art director ... thank you very much 😊 🙏 really appreciate your comment

[@juliusguate8558]

Siento que ellos disfrutaron hasta el último centavo invertido en esa expedición.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hahaha 😆 yes we did indeed

[@woofbark4475]

Thanks for sharing your hike! I'm curious about when the best time is to go to visit the volcano and whether or not warm clothes can be hired? Thank you again!

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Not sure on the best time of year maybe check when the rainy season is but yes you can rent warm clothes with Wicho and Charlie’s they actually include some stuff your your so you won’t need to hire much but I’m not sure on other companies 😊

[@alexietrujillo2093]

Awesome video.... what kind of drone do you fly...I have a DJI mini 2 planning to fly it at acatenango...you think it will handle the winds🤔

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thanks Alexie 🥰 yes we have the same drone, depends on the weather but luckily it wasn’t to windy for us in the morning 😊

[@mishi22pop]

Loveeee this!❤ Planning to go this coming July.. Jz wondering, where did u guys leave the rest of your stuff/luggage? Or did u guys pack it with u during hike?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Oh no we did not carry anything we didn’t need 😅 the hike is pretty steep so you don’t want any extra weight! We left our luggage at Wicho & Charlie’s the company we hiked with. You’re gonna absolutely love it! It’s still one of our favourite experiences 🤩

[@Hutchhh]

That thumbnail 😍

[@MaxandJacqueline]

I know! We were quite happy with it too 😅🥹 thank you for mentioning it we really like that

[@wil_e_]

🔥🔥🔥

[@MaxandJacqueline]

😝

[@an89dy1]

Is it clear if I film a volcanic eruption with my phone?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Yes, you can see the red sparks but it won’t be very high quality because generally iPhone doesn’t perform well in low-light

[@wanderingpole]

Hey Guys! Can you hike it up and stay overnight without a tour company? I believe you can but just wanna double check! Thanks 😁

[@MaxandJacqueline]

We found mixed information online about this, I believe that you can but some online sources advise you need a guide, we didn't have camping equipment so it was better for us to take a tour that provided somewhere warm to sleep! There is a checkpoint when entering about 1/3 of the way up, so it would suck to be turned away there, maybe check with a local before you go to make sure🧡

[@davidm9601]

I am Guatemalan and would advise not to… we always hear a gringo went alone, got lost and found dead, rains and cold will kill you if you do not know the way

[@javiergodinezchamorro4030]

Excelente y felicitaciones por el esfuerzo

[@MaxandJacqueline]

So worth the effort! Thanks Javier

[@pixelsetphotography5612]

Hey .. amazing video. What month did you hike ?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thank you! So nice to hear this feedback. We hiked in August 😁

[@sindhurag816]

Amazing! Heard its rainy from may - oct. How was the weather for you?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

@@sindhurag816 we had a bit of rain the moment we arrived so we couldn't do the hike in the evening we had to wait for the next day. Which was alright as we were pretty beat 😅

[@alexwyler4570]

What did they recommend the weight of the backpack should be?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hey Alex thanks for checking out 2 videos 🙏🏻 Their recommendation was mostly to bring enough water. I'd say no more than 15kg as its super steep

[@ryanjex7979]

What time of year did you all do it?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

We were there in August 😁

[@f5370]

What time of year was that?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hey there, that was back in early August 😀 if you ate thinking of climbing do it it's amazing!!

[@linidevassy2366]

Is it possible to take toddler to see active volcano

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Love the ambition! It's definitely possible but you will end up carrying them, the climb is steep for a toddler. Let us know if you do this we would love to know our kind of travel is still possible if we have kids one day!

[@linidevassy2366]

Hi, thanks for the reply..I am totally worried about freezing cold..if we go I will update....

[@MaxandJacqueline]

@linidevassy2366 it’s quite chilly but with layers it’s totally fine!

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Ok yes, enjoy!! @@linidevassy2366

[@SalvatoreLaFragola]

Hi, which month did u come ?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

August 😊

[@SalvatoreLaFragola]

@@MaxandJacqueline the weather is always like this in that month? 😨

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Not sure we were just visiting we don’t live there 😅

[@MikeKillian]

Not even an ounce of lava, lol, just smoke

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Amazing spot 👌

[@rayli9342]

tours suck, do it urself

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Each to their own I guess. We don't travel with the necessary camping equipment so a tour was the best option for us and many other travellers ✌️
