VOLCÁN DE AGUA

Natural site to discover

Its majestic silhouette dominates Antigua. Feared for its devastating moods, which have already twice reduced the most beautiful city in the Americas, the Agua volcano is now the object of a devastating curiosity from foreign tourists. The ascent is offered by a few agencies in Antigua. If you absolutely want to try the walk alone from the village of Santa María de Jesús, check with the Antigua Inguat and the tourist police beforehand to make sure the trip is not dangerous. If the Turística police give you their approval, find out about the weather conditions. Let us not forget that the summit of the volcano is at an altitude of more than 3,700 metres. The temperature on its slopes is therefore much lower than in the valley. The reward is at the top, at 3,766 metres, from where you can admire magnificent landscapes and enjoy a unique view of Antigua and the volcanoes Fuego and Acatenango.
