Taburete

Taburete is a stratovolcano in El Salvador that rises 1,172 meters above the coastal plain between the San Vicente and San Miguel volcanoes. It features a deep summit crater measuring approximately 300 meters across.

The volcano formed through successive layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and debris that accumulated over centuries. These geological processes created the mountain's present structure and shape.

Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices on the volcano's fertile slopes, growing various crops including coffee and sugarcane.

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to March, when trails are most passable. Marked paths provide safe access to the volcano and its features from the coordinates 13.4397375 degrees north and 88.5324749 degrees west.

The summit crater contains active fumaroles where volcanic gases escape through ground fissures. This ongoing geothermal activity makes it an important site for geological research and volcanic monitoring.
