An incredible and majestic cone, rising over the Qetzaltenango horizon. Perfectly cone shaped, and very steep, it is very visited by tourists and mountaineering clubs. From the summit, the view is unforgettable. To the south, the great expanse of the Pacific Ocean. To the east, lake Atitlan, and the volcanoes Agua, Fuego, Acatenango, Toliman, Atitlan, San Pedro, Zunil and Santo Tomas. To the west, volcanoes Tacana, Tajumulco (highest point in Central America and the Caribbean, and the border with Mexico. To the south, it feels like you could almost touch the summit of Santiaguito volcano, more than one thousand meters below, and in constant eruptions and rumbles. I definitely recommend this trip, I guarantee you will never forget it.
