SANTA MARÍA VOLCANO TOTONICAPÁN GUATEMALA

Santa María is an active volcano located in the department of Quetzaltenango, in Guatemala. With an altitude of 3,772 meters above sea level, it is part of the Cuchumatanes Mountain Range and is one of the highest peaks in this Central American country.

This stratovolcano is known for its iconic Santiaguito crater, which has been erupting since 1922, generating constant flows of lava and ash that descend its slopes. These periodic eruptions have made Santa María a popular destination for mountain climbers and volcano watchers.

The spectacular view from the top of the volcano allows you to see not only the active crater of Santiaguito, but also the Tajumulco volcano, the highest peak in Guatemala, as well as Lake Atitlán and other nearby volcanoes.

Santa María is an important geographical and cultural landmark in Guatemala, and its natural beauty and volcanic activity make it a must-see destination for nature and adventure lovers.
