Q: Tour company for hiking Acatenango in Guatemala?

Hi ladies :)

I'm looking for other female solo travelers recommendations for a tour company for the overnight hike to Acatenango. I've seen Wilco & Charlie and OX expeditions mentioned but would love feedback or recommendations specifically from solo female travelers.

It seems like the cost between the two is negligible.

W&C: pros: porter will carry gear 80% of the way. Can opt for 4 person cabin. Slightly closer to hotel and hostel I’m staying at. Can rent high quality gear and hiking poles. Cons: I’m nervous about the vegan food not being sufficient for this type of activity.

OX Pro: outhouse at camp. crater run challenge. Non-vegetarian meals offered. Con: need to pay extra for porter, unclear about sleeping arrangements (how many in a cabin).

I would like a porter to help carry my gear up. I don't mind vegetarian meals (I've heard W&C is vegan). For those who have used w&c was the food suffient? I am a big runner and do like the idea of trying to crater challenge that OX offers, but not at the expense of a better experience.

Thanks! 🙏🏽
