Volcán Tolimán, Stratovolcano near Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.

The northern slope of this 3,158-meter volcano features thick lava flows, with the most substantial deposits located on the northwest side.

The volcano formed during the Pleistocene period near the southern margin of the Atitlán III caldera, shaping the current geological landscape.

Local Maya communities consider the volcano a sacred location and incorporate its presence into their traditional ceremonies and daily activities.

Experienced hikers can reach the summit through established trails, which require proper equipment and guidance from certified local mountaineering services.

A parasitic lava dome called Cerro de Oro emerged on the northern flank of the volcano several thousand years ago.
