EL SALVADOR ~ Santa Ana Volcano - Los Volcanes National Park ~

... Spectacular nature view... and a fantastic new National Park to add to my collection👍...  El Salvador is known as "The Country of the Volcanoes"... the smallest country in Central America... Santa Ana is still an active volcano... last eruption in 2005...  you can hike along a narrow trail up the volcanic summit... you will cross through different environments... from cloud forest to blank plains... with the Pacific Ocean in the distance...  this volcano is habitat for hundreds of species of flora and fauna...  from the top it offers beautiful panoramic views to the surrounding volcanoes, scenic landscapes and valleys... Thanks a lot William!!【ツ】
Los Volcanes National Park, also known as Cerro Verde National Park, is a large national park in El Salvador. It is home to three massive volcanoes of the Cordillera de Apaneca; the Cerro Verde, the Izalco and the Santa Ana situated in the middle of the rainforest.

The Park is home to diverse plant and animal life, including the colorful turquoise-browed motmot (El Salvador’s national bird) and exotic orchids.

The Santa Ana or lamatepec is the largest volcano of the Park and the third highest point in El Salvador. It has an elevation of 2,381 meters and its geological history goes back about 2 million years.There have been numerous historical eruptions since the 16thC.
