The summit is 4000m. Base camp at 3600. The starting altitude is close to 2000m I think. It is quite easy to reach the base camp, but the additional hike to Volcan de Fuego was one of my hardest hikes ever. Going down from Acatenango and then up Fuego, and the same on the way back, while being in a hurry not to miss the sunset.
