Volcanoes! (Antigua Part Dos)

There are a number of volcanoes ringing the city of Antigua. Volcan Agua rises over the city to the south all symmetrical and Fuji-like. Volcan Fuego is constantly erupting and sending plumes of ash into the sky (and in fact covered the town in a few centimetres of ash a few weeks ago). Volcan Acatenango looks down on Fuego and wonders what all the fuss is about. 


 Fuego erupts at dusk while Acatenango looks down bemused.

Volcan Agua towering over Antigua.

We also climbed Volcan Pacaya, also active, and toasted marshmallows on the hot rocks of a lava field.
