Volcán de Fuego (Spanish pronunciation: [bolˈkan de ˈfweɣo]; Spanish for “Volcano of Fire”, often shortened to Fuego) or Chi Q’aq’ (Kaqchikel for “where the fire is”) is an active stratovolcano in Guatemala, on the borders of ChimaltenangoEscuintla and Sacatepéquez departments.

Part of the mountain range of the Sierra Madre, the volcano sits about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Antigua, one of Guatemala’s most famous cities and a tourist destination.[2] It has erupted frequently, most recently in June[3][4][5] and November[6][7] 2018, 23 September 2021, 11 December 2022,[8] and 4 May 2023.[9]

Fuego is famous for being almost constantly active at a low level. Small explosions of gas and ash occur every 15 to 20 minutes, but larger eruptions are less frequent. Andesite and basalt lava types dominate.[10][11]
