Hiking Volcano El Chingo

view from Volcano El Chingo on a disappointingly cloudy day


view into the crater of Volcano El Chingo...it erupted so long ago that the entire volcano is now completely covered by thick forest


the soccer field in the middle of the crater of Volcano El Chingo



more scenes from a few hours relaxing in the crater

the Salvadoran-Guatemala border, which runs right across the middle of the volcano



more shots of the border, where all the trees and forest have been cleared to clearly delineate the border, and shots of a few of the border markers




a rare and gorgeous tree...el palo de fuego...or tree of fire in english...easily earns its name with its bright red leaves, flowers, and bean pods
