The most beautiful volcanoes of Guatemala
The most interesting of the volcanoes in Guatemala
Central American Guatemala offers the most beautiful and active volcanoes in the world. If you would like to see flowing lava at least once in your life, be sure to go to Guatemala
Fuego Volcano
One of the most active volcanoes in Central America
The stratovolcano ** Fuego ** translated as „fiery“ is a very active, 3763m high volcano near the historic town of ** Antigua **. It is known mainly due to the frequent and regular eruptions that can be observed from the neighboring volcano „Acatenango“: [https://www.gigaplaces.com/…-acatenango/]. continue reading
Agua Volcano
Volcano above the city of Antigua
The inactive stratovolcano ** Agua ** (translated as „water“) 3765m high rises above the historically important center of ** Antigua **. It was named after the lake in its crater, which overflowed in the 16th century and destroyed the then capital ** Ciudad Vieja **. After that, the capital became ** Antigua **, until 1773, when it was destroyed by an earthquake. The most beautiful view of the volcano is from the ** Mirador de La Cruz ** in ** Antigua **. continue reading
Volcano Atitlán
The highest volcano at Lake Atitlan
Atitlan volcano (3 535 m asl) is indeed the highest mountain in the vicinity of Lake Atitlán, but thanks to a little worse accessibility and more difficult ascent it is less frequently visited than, for example, close volcano San Pedro. From the top is a beautiful view of the lake and many other volcanoes including very active volcanos Acetanengo and Fuego. continue reading
Volcano San Pedro
Queen of Atitlan
Lush vegetation-covered cone of volcano San Pedro rises directly from the shores of fabled Guatemala Lake Atitlan. You will be able to see this wonderful volcano during your trips around Lake Atitlan from almost all sides. In addition, the ascent to the volcano is simple, although it is grueling and often quite muddy. continue reading
Acatenango Volcano
Volcano with a beautiful view
The 3976m high stratovolcano is currently inactive (the last eruption was recorded in 1972). However, the volcano is adjacent to another, very active volcano – „Fuego“: [https://www.gigaplaces.com/…ulkan-fuego/], and is therefore widely visited for close observation of volcanic activity. continue reading
Pacaya volcano
An active volcano near the city of Antigua
2552m high volcanic complex, which is still very active and sometimes there is also flowing lava. From the lookout point is a beautiful view of the trio of volcanoes „Fuego“: [https://www.gigaplaces.com/…ulkan-fuego/], „Acatenango“: [https://www.gigaplaces.com/misto-vulkan -acatenango /] and „Agua“: [https://www.gigaplaces.com/…vulkan-agua/]. continue reading
Volcano Tolimán
Lackluster summit
Volcano Tolimán (3 158 m asl) is with its two faint peaks the least nice mountain around Lake Atitlan. In addition, just across the distinct pass is higher and more beautiful Atitlan volcano. Therefore, volcano Tolimán is not very popular peak. continue reading
