CHAPARRASTIC VOLCANO

Located near the city of San Miguel, the Chaparrastique volcano (2 132 metres), also known as San Miguel volcano, ejected on Sunday 29 December 2013, following an explosive eruption, a thick cloud of ash and gas that forced the authorities to evacuate the population established around the volcano. Some international flights have also had to be cancelled. The volcano remains active and continues to eject gases. But there was no new eruption. Before visiting the San Miguel area, it is recommended to consult the civil protection site of El Salvador: www.proteccioncivil.gob.sv.
