Fuego

Fuego at sun set; it seems to be always covered in clouds at this hour


Fuego in the early morning, the best time to actually see it so far

Fuego is a (fortunately) inactive volcano – at least in recent times. Behind it is Antigua, the capital of Guatemala when the Spanish still ruled around here, and the country’s tourist centre – only 1h away from where I am.

There are two other volcanos close by. One is called Agua, and is still active. Interesting play of words with Fuego – shouldn't they be named the other way around then? The third is the most impressive one as you can often see smoke coming out of it. I’ll try to get a good picture of it without clouds (not easy task) at the same time that I try to memorise its bloody name…
