Located in the department of Chiquimula in southwestern Guatemala, near the border with El Salvador, Acatenango is a charming town surrounded by volcanoes. Its landmark is the neighboring Acatenango Volcano, an active volcano that stands alongside the Fuego Volcano, adding to the area's spectacular natural beauty. The town is known for its excellent coffee farming, and coffee lovers are attracted to visit the town because of its rich volcanic soil and climate, which produces a unique flavor of coffee beans. Visitors can participate in volcano hikes, coffee plantation experiences, and experience the fusion of local Mayan culture and idyllic scenery. Although small in size, Acatenango has become a treasure destination for niche tourism in Guatemala with its pristine natural landscape and simple folkways.
