Les muestro las fotos que tomé en mi última subida al volcán Acatenango. Este volcán tiene dos picos y en esta subida nos quedamos a acampar en el pico mayor, a 3976 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
Esta es la vista desde arriba:
I want to show you some of the photos I took in my last trip to Acatenango volcano. This volcano has two peaks. In this trip we spent the night in the higher one, at 3976 meters over the sea.
This is the view from the top:
La subida del volcán puede durar entre unas 4 a 6 horas. Yo en mis malas condiciones físicas (me refiero a una falta de ejercicio, no incapacidad ni nada) lo subí en mas o menos 6 horas. En esta ocasión estuvo presente mi pareja, a quien no le cayó muy bien el frío y el cansancio, así que hubo un poco de desafío extra. He oído de gente que lo ha subido trotando en 3 horas. Aquí un par de vistas hacia abajo mientras subíamos:
Hiking this volcano can take between 4 and 6 hours, approximately. I happened to be in bad conditions (I mean lack of exercise and training) we did it in about 6 hours. An extra difficulty came because my girlfriend didn't do well in the cold and the demanding hike. I've heard of people that go up jogging in 3 hours.
Después de las coníferas y los encinos que soportan tanto frío, se viene una aridez impresionante. Caminar por esta arena volcánica es bastante duro y digno de evocar a Sísifo mismo. Encontré esta isla de vegetación flotando entre la arena ardiente por el sol que quema a pesar del intenso viento frío.
After the trees that stand such low temperatures, there comes an impressing aridity. Walking over this volcanic sand is quite exhausting and worthy of recalling Sisiphus. I found this isle of vegetation amidst a sea of burning sand heated by the sun despite the cold wind.
A la mañana siguiente pude obtener esta foto. El cráter del pico mayor es básicamente un plato hondo. Algo que se me imagina una escena de Star Wars. Esa noche la pasamos allí unas 50 personas. Es muy lamentable que haya perdido la oportunidad de fotografiar el Volcán de Fuego durante la noche, ya que éste estuvo escupiendo lava. A la próxima espero estar preparado.
The next morning I took this photo. The crater is basically a dish. It makes me imagine some scene from Star Wars. It was about 50 people up there. It's a shame I lost the opportunity of taking photos of Fuego volcano during the night. It did some small eruptions. Next time I hope I'm prepared for that.
No puede faltar la escena épica:
You can not miss the epic scene.
Y aquí el mencionado vecino del Acatenango complaciéndonos con un poco de humo y cenizas, el Volcán de Fuego.
This is the mentioned neighbour giving us some smoke and ash salute.
Y para finalizar un viejo árbol vestido de musgo que nos encontramos en el camino.
Finally, an old tree dressed in moss we found in the way.
Si vienen a Guatemala, tienen que subir más de algún volcán.
If you ever come to Guatemala, you must hike up some volcano.
