Conchagua, Extinct volcano in La Unión Department, El Salvador.
Conchagua rises 1225 meters above the Gulf of Fonseca, featuring two overlapping stratovolcanoes with active fumarolic areas at both summits.
The volcano was a settlement for the Lenca civilization, who established communities around its slopes and developed agricultural practices in its fertile soil.
The name Conchagua originates from the Lenca language, meaning Flying Jaguar, connected to the legend of Princess Comizahual's transformation into golden birds.
The dry season from November to April provides optimal conditions for hiking to the Mirador Espiritu de la Montana viewpoint overlooking three countries.
The Salvadoran government selected Conchagua as the location for Bitcoin City, a planned municipality powered by volcanic energy for cryptocurrency mining.
