volcán chico


Lava fields


500 to 800-year-old cactus


Volcán Chico

In the shadows of Sierra Negra lies another active volcanic zone, known as Volcán Chico. Sulphur, iron, Pahoehoe lava and A'a lava cover the landscape. You can actually see small chunks of pure yellow sulphur mixed in with other volcanic rock. Lone cacti decorate the landscape. This one is between 500 and 800 years old.
