Day 2.

After a good rest I managed to get up for a bit of an early morning walk at dawn.


Looking south to Volcán de Agua looming over the city. The volcano is now extinct and was last active between between 10,000 and 80,000 years ago.


Bottom-left is the Iglesia de La Merced.


The summit of Volcán de Agua, now glowing orange from the rising sun to the east.


Volcán de Fuego (left) and Volcan de Acatenango (right) to the west. At 3,976 metres tall Acatenango is the second highest point in the country. Fuego is famous for being almost constantly active and the last major eruption was in June 2018 which resulted in 159 deaths, at least 300 injuries and the closure of La Aurora International Airport.


A panorama with the green coffee plantations stretching up to the slopes of Volcán de Agua in the distance.


And back at Posada Los Bucaros for hash browns and scrambled eggs for breakfast to fuel up for the day.


I then went out for a walk through the city again.
