Our friend volcano photographer and expedition organizer Diego Rizzo from Guatemala shared some of his impressions taken at Fuego and Pacaya volcanoes during Feb-May 2021. Both volcanoes have been in permanent activity during the past years and provide fantastic opportunities for tours to see active volcanoes from close. (Photo: Diego Rizzo)

Impressions of Santiaguito volcano's activity during 26-28 Dec 2015 from our Guatemala volcano tour when we spent two nights on the summit of Santa Maria, more than 1000 m above the active lava dome - one (if not THE) best volcano observation spots in the world! (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Our recent Guatemala volcano tour coincided with the beginning of another (the 14th in 2015) paroxysm at Fuego volcano, which we observed from close during 29 Dec - 1 Jan. We used two different viewpoints at the base of the volcano, at approx. 5 and 7 km distances: first from near the INSIVUMEH volcano observatory (SW flank, first 3 rows of pictures), and from the SE (last pictures). The latter was chosen instead of initially planned Acatenango because of very bad weather and the presence of a new lava flow on that side.
Many thanks for support goes to the friendly staff from OVFGO/INSIVUMEH, in particular Edgar Barrios! (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Cerro Quemado (="Burned Peak"), is the youngest of several vents of the Almolonga volcanic complex. Its last eruption in 1818 produced an extensive field of block lava and a complex dome. Located immediately south of Quezaltenango and beautifully vegetated by pine forest, it is a popular half-day excursion from the city. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
