Fuego Volcano is the most active volcano in Central America. It’s known for being constantly active at a low level – there are small eruptions of gas, ash and lava every 15 to 20 minutes.

Fuego Volcano in Guatemala is a relatively young basaltic stratovolcano. Together with the andesitic Acatenango Volcano it forms a double volcano. The two volcanoes rise only 30 kilometres from Guatemala City in the immediate vicinity of the town of Antigua Guatemala.

As a volcano of the Central American coastal cordillera, it owes its formation to the subduction of the Pacific Plate.
The first traces of volcanism were already present here 230,000 years ago. At that time, the volcano Meseta was active. Its collapse probably produced the avalanche-like debris deposits of Escuintela. Afterwards the eruption center moved in southwestern direction and the double volcano Acatenango – Fuego was formed.

Guatemala, a country rich in natural beauty and adventure opportunities, offers a unique experience for hiking enthusiasts: trekking on the Acatenango and Fuego volcanoes.

These adventures are not only physically challenging but also incredibly rewarding, offering stunning views and unforgettable experiences.
