    A two-day hike with a guide and a tour group in the Acetenango volcano region. Mostly dirt and rocky paths, through forests and high up in the mountains.

    Day one: La Soledad to Wicho & Charlie's basecamp. A 4 hour hike through the woods and on the Acetenango volcano. Mostly dirt paths and in cloudy weather conditions which made for good hiking. The paths were steep but doable. After a short rest at basecamp a 4 hour hike back and forth to the Fuego Volcano viewpoint. The path was much steeper and a large portion of the route was on top op the mountains in windy conditions. After a rest at the viewpoint, we hiked back through the dark and in windy conditions (-5 to -10 degrees celsius). This was a very tough hike to make!

    Day two: after a good night's sleep we hiked back down the mountain to La Soledad. We took the same route and conditions were a little worse with some rainfall the night before. Route was not too slippery however and we made the track back in about 3 hours.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
