This tour takes you to a mirador (overlook) that sports wonderful views of the active Santiaguito Volcano. The mirador is a great spot to take in views of the volcano and surrounding area.
The Santiaguito Volcano is one of Guatemala's most active volcanoes. It belches smoke, ash, and lava on a consistent basis. The volcano grew out of the Santa María Volcano, having been created in 1922 following a major eruption at Santa María. The volcano's massive dome complex continues to grow with each explosion, although most eruptions are minor.
