This nearly perfectly cone shaped volcano is one of the more famous volcanoes of Nicaragua, and one of its most prominent landmarks. It can be seen from nearly 400 kilometers away! It has erupted more than once over the past thousand years, but has been quiet so far, since 1905, the last recorded eruption. Some parts of it still do reach 500 degrees celsius.
Some people try to climb this volcano, but it's no easy task. There's no trail, and parts near the top of the mountain get really steep, with no shade.
