Pacaya Volcano, Guatemala
Filmed and edited by H. Paul Moon | Zen Violence Films |
UPDATE: Here is a scientific report by the Smithsonian Institution/Richard Wunderman with numerous references to this video, its associated still photographs, and GPS coordinates:
Volcán Pacaya is an active volcano in the Escuintla department of Guatemala nearby Antigua and Guatemala City. Though the volcano had been dormant for over a century, it erupted in 1965 and hasn't stopped since. As recently as 2006, increased eruptions resulted in the formation of a lava river as you will see in this short film. When capturing the footage, the heat was so intense that I could only hold out for brief shots, needing to turn away regularly to avoid getting scorched. Rather than covering those reactions, I have retained them in editing, as harsh cuts at once stylized and truthful (or comical, if the idea of getting sizzled makes you giggle).

Ride Day 28: Antigua, Guatemala to Pacaya Volcano, Guatemala
Full Post: My trip today takes me from Antigua, Guatemala to the Antigua, Guatemala to Pacaya Volcano, near Guatemala City. I had the idea of riding up as close to the volcano as possible. Unfortunately, the clouds came over, and I didn't have a chance to get closer.
Coupled with the fact that the local paper maps only showed a single track and when I got to where the single track location, it was basically a walking track.
Today I talk about my Klim Krew Backpack and what I like (do not like) about this backpack. It is probably one of my favorite pieces of kit I took with me on this journey and had held together extremely well.
The ride, while only around 80 miles (121 kilometers), was a major climb on dirt/rock (ripio) roads through mountain villages. I love riding off the road and any chance I get I go for it. It is important to get as much experience on dirt as you can and would hold me in good stead for the variety of off roads in Patagonia southern America.
I went through some villages like San Vicente Pacaya, Residencial Las Victorias, Liztex, Amatitlán and then back to my hotel in Antigua, Guatemala.
Filadelfia Coffee Resort & Tours
The Hotel is called Filadelfia Coffee Resort & Tours and whilst it is a beautiful location and well staffed, some things make it not so good. The rooms are a little dated and stuffy. The internet speed (if it ever worked) was deplorable. Considering this is a high priced hotel, you would think they would get the Internet and WiFi right.
The grounds are stunning, and the food was very nice (if pricey) and the service was excellent. The reason for the lower star rating? WiFi and the dated fittings in the rooms.
Pacaya, Guatemala
Pacaya is an active complex volcano in Guatemala, which first erupted approximately 23,000 years ago and has erupted at least 23 times since the Spanish invasion of Guatemala. Pacaya rises to an elevation of 2,552 meters (8,373 ft). After being dormant for a century, it erupted violently in 1965 and had been erupting continuously since then. Much of its activity is Strombolian, but occasional Plinian eruptions also occur, sometimes showering the area of the nearby Departments with ash.
Pacaya is a popular tourist attraction. Pacaya lies 30 kilometers (19 miles) southwest of Guatemala City and relatively close to Antigua. The volcano sits inside the Escuintla Department.
So far, the last activity reported has been the eruption that peaked on March 2, 2014, causing ash to rain down in Guatemala City, Antigua, and Escuintla. (From Wikipedia)

Guatemala/Antigua
Antigua Guatemala (commonly referred to as just Antigua or la Antigua) is a city in the central highlands of Guatemala famous for its well-preserved Spanish Baroque influenced architecture as well as a number of spectacular ruins of colonial churches. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Antigua Guatemala serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality of the same name. It also serves as the departmental capital of Sacatepéquez Department.
The city had a peak population of some 60,000 in the 1770s; the bulk of the population moved away in the late 18th century. Despite significant population growth in the late 20th century, the city had only reached half that number by the 1990s. According to the 2007 census, the city has some 34,685 inhabitants.
Central Park (Parque Central) is the heart of the city. The reconstructed fountain there is a popular gathering spot. Off to the side of the Central Park, the Arco de Santa Catalina is among the many notable architectural landmarks of La Antigua.
La Antigua is noted for its very elaborate religious celebrations during Lent (Cuaresma), leading up to Holy Week (Semana Santa) and Easter (Pascua). Each Sunday in Lent, one of the local parishes sponsor a Procession through the streets of Antigua. Elaborate and beautiful artistic carpets predominantly made of dyed sawdust, flowers, pine needles and even fruits and vegetables adorn the processions' path.Due to its popularity amongst tourists and its very well developed tourism infrastructure, Antigua Guatemala is often used as a central location in which many choose to set up base and from here, visit other tourist areas in Guatemala and Central America. Cruise ships that dock at Guatemalan ports offer trips to Antigua from both the Pacific and Atlantic.
Antigua also holds a sizeable retirement community from the US as well as Europe as its colonial charm and mild climate has appealed to many who have crossed paths with this enchanting and romantic town.
Fuego volcano eruption in Guatemala, Volcán de Fuego (Volcano of Fire), Chimaltenango, Escuintla
Fuego volcano eruption in Guatemala,
Volcán de Fuego (Volcano of Fire) is an active stratovolcano in Guatemala, on the borders of Chimaltenango, Escuintla and Sacatepéquez departments. It sits about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Antigua Guatemala, one of Guatemala’s most famous cities and a tourist destination .[1] It has erupted frequently since the Spanish conquest.
El volcán de Fuego es un estratovolcán situado entre los departamentos de Sacatepéquez, Escuintla y Chimaltenango, al centro-sur de Guatemala.
El volcán de Fuego es uno de los más impresionantes de Centroamérica. Sus erupciones son violentas, y probablemente es el volcán más activo desde la Conquista, a tal extremo que se afirma que el conquistador Pedro de Alvarado pudo verlo en erupción en el año de 1524, según el mismo lo reportó en epístolas. Su nombre indígena es Chi'gag, que se traduciría del idioma cakchiquel al español como donde está el fuego.
El Volcán de Fuego tiene una altura de 3763 msnm. Prácticamente se encuentra descubierto de vegetación más arriba de los 1300 metros, donde básicamente sólo puede encontrarse lava. El volcán de Fuego tiene la forma de un cono que se alarga considerablemente hacia el sur, formando el pie de monte hacia la costa sur. Debajo de él se constituye una meseta orográfica de múltiples caractéristicas geológicas. Forma una tríada de colosos con los volcanes de Agua y Acatenango, próximos a su base; de hecho, comparte el mismo bloque volcánico con el volcán Acatenango, y originalmente ambos eran referidos por los colonos españoles como «los volcanes de Fuego».1 Del volcán nacen varias fuentes hidrícas, que se convierten en ríos descendientes hacia la costa sur, en un área de riqueza mineral, óptima para la agricultura.
