Hike Volcan Santiaguiato’s Cone in Guatemala
It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Hiking from Santa Maria de Jesus town will take up to 4 hours. During the hike you will watch wild flowers, the lowlands and the Pacific Ocean area, vegetation that has not changed for centuries and a communal land that was not expropriated by the Spanish where cows run free.
With its elevation of 3,771.9 meters (12,375 ft), this volcano is located in the south foot of Volcan Santa Maria, surrounded by a mountainous zone, near the city of Quetzaltenango.
Currently, it has a complex of four rocky lava domes, one of which is called Fuego (fire) which is the active dome. It typically creates a big explosion followed up by a huge cloud of smoke every 60 minutes. The cloud can reach up to 8 km into the sky.
