Guazapa is seen here from the west, 3 km NE of the town of Guazapa. This eroded Pleistocene cone is one of the largest of the interior valley of El Salvador. Deep erosional valleys have formed down the flanks, and younger cones and lava flows are found around its base. Photo by Giuseppina Kysar, 1999 (Smithsonian Institution).
