We present a detailed strong lensing analysis of the massive and distant (z = 0.870) galaxy cluster ACT-CL J0102-4915 (ACT0102, also known as El Gordo), taking advantage of new spectroscopic data from the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope and archival imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope. Thanks to the MUSE data, we were able to measure secure redshifts for 374 single objects, including 23 multiply lensed galaxies, and 167 cluster members of ACT0102. We used the observed positions of 56 multiple images, along with their new spectroscopic redshift measurements, as constraints for our strong lensing model. Remarkably, some multiple images are detected out to a large projected distance of ≈1 Mpc from the brightest cluster galaxy, allowing us to estimate a projected total mass value of $ 1.84_{-0.04}^{+0.03} \times 10^{15}\, M_{\odot} $ within that radius. We find that we need two extended cluster mass components, the mass contributions from the cluster members and the additional lensing effect of a foreground (z = 0.633) group of galaxies, to predict the positions of all multiple images with a root mean square offset of 0″​​_.75. The main cluster-scale mass component is centred very close to the brightest cluster galaxy, and the other extended mass component is located in the north-west region of the cluster. These two mass components have very similar values of mass projected within 300 kpc of their centres, namely $ 2.29_{-0.10}^{+0.09}\times10^{14}\,M_{\odot} $ and $ 2.10_{-0.09}^{+0.08}\times10^{14}\,M_{\odot} $, in agreement with the major merging scenario of ACT0102. We make publicly available the lens model, including the magnification maps and posterior distributions of the model parameter values, as well as the full spectroscopic catalogue containing all redshift measurements obtained with MUSE.
