    When I was 13 years old (1993) I lived in Guatemala. Haven't been back since Thanksgiving 1994. Never got a chance to hike the volcanos, but I remember watching activity on Fuego from the roof of our apartment building in Guatemala City.

    Well done Chris and Carol. The brutality of the hike, your endurance, the views, the flowers, the dogs in a line, the eruption of the volcano, the scenery, as amazing and exceptional as this video is I am sure it only conveyed a small sense of your fulfilment and oneness with all that is. Thank you for doing what you do, educating us and bringing a snapshot of the magic you experience to our screens.

    Epic, best vlogs on UA-cam. Tip for your next hike - get yourself some dehydrated meals. They’re super light to carry and you only need water and a small stove. Better than carrying a heavy cooler to the top of a mountain! It’s especially important to pack light for treks like this and makes the experience much more enjoyable.

    I was there in March and was quite lucky with the weather, sunny to start with but cloudy on top to start with, cleared once dark and clear in the morning. I found the hike tough but ok physically but the altitude killed me! Didn't get sick but breathing became harder even though I spent 3 days in Antigua before to try an acclimatise a bit! Because of this didn't go to Fuego which right call i think as could still see the eruptions from camp. Did do the sunrise hike which was extra special as were lucky enough to have clear sky's.

    I just want to say this was no doubt one of the toughest videos? the State of Puebla, Mexico just a couple hours south of Mexico City has a wonderful Volcano that erupts quite often. During a few months stay I witnessed nearly daily puffs and several very beautiful eruptions with fire and brimstones Sparkling down the mountainside. Hopefully I will be there next month. I love Mexico!
