Climbing the Central America Volcanoes

Tacaná y Tajumulco inside Mam Culture

 

 

Volcanoes of Central America are characteristic for the diversification of its flora and fauna, unique for its beauty.
To ascend the volcano Tacaná (4.080 Mt), the tour begins in the thick, humid jungle of Union Juarez, and passes through the ancient Mayan town of Tonala in which ancient cultures intact Mam still live among the common people. Through a gradual change between forest and montane forest, the summit is achieved after a two-day tour, which also includes a night in a tent in a quiet little valley.
Descending from the volcano, run the border into Guatemala and begin the ascent Tajumulco Volcano, with its 4200 meters is the highest in Central America.
After a few hours away, it will reach the crater, above the clouds, where you may admire the remains of former bracers who to this day deal for the same old rituals.
