Chingo, Stratovolcano at Guatemala and El Salvador border.
The symmetrical volcano rises to 1775 meters above sea level, featuring an oval crater at its summit that opens toward the western side.
The mountain served as a meeting point for presidents of Guatemala and El Salvador in 1873 to discuss military strategies against Honduras.
Local communities maintain cleared areas near the crater to mark the national boundary between Guatemala and El Salvador with a monument at the peak.
Access to the volcano requires hiking through trails, as no paved roads reach the summit of this natural border landmark.
Multiple young lava flows extend from flank fissures on the northern and western sides of the volcano, indicating recent geological activity.
