Mount Mahawu, Stratovolcano in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Mount Mahawu contains a crater measuring 180 meters in width and 140 meters in depth, with two pyroclastic cones on its northern slopes.
A significant volcanic event in 1789 at Mount Mahawu created the current crater formation and established a sulfur pond at its summit.
Local communities near Mount Mahawu maintain traditional practices while adapting to the presence of geological tourism in their region.
The concrete pathway from the parking area to the crater rim spans a few hundred meters and takes approximately one hour for a round trip.
From the volcano's rim, visitors observe neighboring mountains including Lokon, Empung, Soputan, and Lake Tondano across the North Sulawesi landscape.
