i spent the night on an active volcano....🇬🇹 GUATEMALA

I needed a bit of an adventure to start of the new year and ended up in Guatemala to see Acatenango! Here's how hiking up a mountain to sleep on an active volcano plays out....

I love escaping through your videos when life gets a little too much. It reminds me of how much beauty there is in this world and of all the great things I have yet to see. Thank you for keep showing us 🤍

[@alexandracmdavid]

The volcano eruption made me tear up. I don't tear up watching youtube videos. Loved this

[@eljj7968]

Awesome! I have done a couple of volcano hikes in Guatemala as a solo female traveler and it was absolutely amazing - highly recommend to anyone thinking about it!

[@sierrashavon6459]

So glad y’all decided to go on the impromptu sunset hike to see the volcano! Especially since you weren’t able to the next day. It’s a lesson to live and do the thing while you can because we never know what tomorrow will hold. Loved this vid! ❤

[@Rigly123]

Guatemala has such a special place in my heart. So happy you got to experience the beauty of Guate, it's people and the volcanos!!!

[@JanaaJanaaaa]

Loved the video! I was literally thinking about it before you said it in the video, I always see you as a person that can be everything all at once. Loving how you always show us different aspects of you and that everybody should chase everything that they are interested in.

[@katie]

Elena this was such a good vlog! I loved just seeing your joy and energy reaching the top 👏🏻 so inspiring

[@MPOS01]

Elena, you're the most animated and alive when you're on the move. In Paris, i could feel your energy a little low. Wish you the best. Thank you for this beautiful vlog❤

[@Safiye96]

Such an inspiring video, one of my favorites you’ve made. I found myself teary eyed so many times and I’m not even sure why. I know exactly the feeling of wanting to push yourself to prove to yourself you can do it. And our bodies are so resilient. The other day I ended up kayaking 4 hours, 2 hours down stream and 2 up hours stream. I would never ever think I would be able to do it, and I just did it. One row after another. I felt so proud of myself and felt this exact sensation and it made me feel alive. Loved the video Elena!!

[@instaerri89_photo]

Elena, this is the best video you created! So spontaneous and challenging....I don't know if you read comments, but I need to say "Congratulations" nothing else!

[@l.b.257]

I did this hike last week, incredible experience and the most beautiful view I've ever seen. happy to get to relive it through your video

[@coconutqueenii]

that’s crazy! A friend hiked Acatenango a few months back, and also said hardest workout of her life. My husband and I considered doing that as well but we decided to hike Machu Picchu instead. Cheers!

[@sierrashavon6459]

How was Machu Picchu?

[@veronicalove8507]

Omg thank you so much for posting this video ! This hike is now on my bucket list 😮

[@Quetzal0te]

Besides simply enjoying the beautiful setting in nature what I learned from this video was to stay happy even when things don't go as we thought. Love to all true happy campers of the world! 👏 🌎

[@isabelmaaz4526]

Thanks for coming to my country! Hopefully you'll get to visit other of our beautiful locations, such as Lake Atitlán or Tikal! Love your content always 🩷

[@kayleighw9841]

You are my favourite KZbinr. Each of your videos are all at once comforting, relatable, inspirational but - most importantly - remind us that such adventure is achievable! Such beautiful shots in this, thank you for sharing

[@jessbrown8912]

I did this in the autumn and it was honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen

[@beatricearellano4988]

elena this is so amazing!! i love your outlook on life and the world, the shots of the volcano erupting was so incredible i literally got emotional with you

[@FidanIlhamm]

I love that you love this dual city and nature life. This is what I aspire to achieve. Enjoyed this video a lot ❤

[@itsmelexie1]

i just got back from doing the same hike!!! such an incredible experience.

[@kevinrivera-ws3yo]

I'm glad you enjoyed Guatemala...I really appreciate you visiting Guatemala 🇬🇹

[@heynicolekunz1]

this footage is so magical!!

[@TuristasEn-GUATEMALA_PLAYLISTS]

A few years ago the second largest archaeological ruin in the world was discovered, and it is the first largest ruin of the Mayan civilization, in Guatemala, it is called DANTA, it is in Petén, You can get there from Flores by helicopter (takes 30 minutes) or walking through the jungle (you arrive in approximately 3 days)

[@Toonksbell43]

You are one of my biggest inspirations to travel and just go for the things I dream of, I want to live life like this

[@marymason_]

OBSESSED with this vid!! your energy and the vibes were immaculate. love seeing you do incredible things, it's really helping inspire me!

[@shriverclaire]

I did this hike for my 30th and can also confirm it was amazingly life changing! It's hard but you CAN do it for anyone thinking about it

[@TTTTania]

I'm so happy you had such a good time here! 🎉 Thank you for appreciating my country ❤

[@romiseanez]

Absolutely beautiful experience, thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@Durangotek]

Great video. Loved the philosophying in the middle.

[@rachelmc9328]

I never usually comment on videos but WOW! What an amazing thing to experience 😍

[@AVG_JOS]

Dope video! Its one of the activities I want to do and helped with my summer plans to Guatemala. Thank you.

[@AB-tb7bt]

Elena! I am from Guatemala and can't believe you visited my country! I also did this hike a few years ago and it is tough, particularly the hike to summit after base camp. It is an incredible experience though!

[@maferberganza8881]

Amazing ❤ I am form Guatemala I feel so grateful that you visit us✨, you must also go to “Hato Verde” in Antigua; night life is so much fun (on Saturdays in “El Barrio), you can also visit Lake “Atitlán” considered the most beautiful lake in the world 🌍

[@ForestJumpOutdoors]

What a nice place... super calming video, thank you for making it :)

[@calidoc516]

What an incredible journey! Bummer you didn't get to see the summit, but man to see a volcano erupt at night?! Super cool.

[@Lexijungle]

So inspiring, as always. Love your curiosity and will to share it with us. Sending love to you, thanks for being a bright light.

[@ednatipka6743]

You inspire me so much, please keep doing what you're doing in life because it shows the rest of us girls that we can actually do that too. I really wish we would be friends:))

[@agustinazanuttini9439]

Elena, miro tus videos hace muchos años! Y me encanta porque cada vez estas más cerca de conocer mi país Argentina ❤🇦🇷❤

[@daniellehardy1095]

Omg! I just did this hike 2 weeks ago! I watch all of your travel videos so that’s such a coincidence.

[@nocturnus009]

Love how this journey serves as a tangible callback to Kim Stanley Robinson’s Red, Green & Blue Mars Trilogy. The Intertextual Connections are going to illuminate my next Convergent Thought trip to my Meditation chair.

[@annalyndell]

Girl I am so impressed with your camera work!! 👏👏👏

[@emprendedorexitoso9262]

For the next time if you come through Miratenango farm you save like 2/3s of the very stiff first part and remember there's plenty of more Guatemala too see and you're more than welcome if you want to come back 😉

[@AliceHollywood]

Wow that volcano got me emotional too girl! ❤🥹

[@logandavidson3556]

Oh my gosh! Those views of the volcano are amazing!!!! 😍🫶🏼🙌🏻

[@ozatanvi]

Your videos are like a warm hug on a tough day! 🤗 They remind me of the beauty out there and all the adventures waiting for us. Thanks for sharing these amazing experiences! 😊💕

[@GoodLifeRoad]

Such beautiful footage you captured! ❤🌋

[@autumncarolynnphotography]

This is really incredible and your shots are absolutely amazing!!!

[@giladmoyal4801]

Great video, really enjoyed the cinematic shots. You talked about people from a more urban envierment who might want to travel more and see the world but might get discouraged. I thought it will be a nice subject to explore in a video about doing the first step to break this glass wall which stops so many from seeing what the world has to offer. Would love to hear your take about it.

[@graceleemendez8085]

Bravo Elena! So amazing. Thank you for sharing the Journey!

[@shannonkirkpatrick6161]

Such a genuine and beautiful travel vlog! Thank you for taking us along for the adventure :)

This kind of tours designed for people from the us where they treat you like a baby are always so funny to watch

[@Vatsek]

Elena, do you know how many Guatemalans are now headed toward the US border because they watched your video?
