Stayed at Camino Real Antigua a couple years ago. Was very satisfied and almost certain it had AC. Not luxurious by any standard, but was very clean, comfortable and modern relative to the city. Short 10min walk to Chabad as well.

Did anyone do the Acatenango jeep hike?
How bad is it, will it knock me out for the remainder of the trip?

trying to pack everything in a tight schedule, hope it makes sense
Arriving GUA 7AM
Sunday: Day in Antigua
Monday: overnight Jeep tour Acatenango
Tuesday: Drive to san pedro on the ground for less then 24 hrs as my flight leaves already 7PM on Wednesday.

Does this itinerary make sense?
