Agua Volcano and Pacaya Volcano from Acatenango, Guatemala

Agua Volcano seen from Acatenango Volcano
Agua Volcano and Pacaya Volcano, Guatemala. This photograph, taken from the slopes of Acatenango Volcano, showcases two of Guatemala's prominent stratovolcanoes. Agua Volcano, the leftmost and most symmetrical, is a dormant volcano that looms over the colonial city of Antigua. Pacaya Volcano, to the right, is an active volcano known for its frequent eruptions and lava flows. Both are part of the Central American Volcanic Arc, a chain of volcanoes formed by the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate.
Photo taken in February 2020.
