Volcan de Agua

Towering white clouds rise dramatically above a shadowy mountain peak, creating a striking contrast against the vivid blue sky. The scene captures the sense of vastness and power in nature, with the scattered clouds adding depth to the image. Volcán de Agua, also known as Junajpú by Maya, is an extinct stratovolcano located in the departments of Sacatepéquez and Escuintla in Guatemala. At 3,760 m (12,340 ft), Agua Volcano towers more than 3,500 m (11,500 ft) above the Pacific coastal plain to the south and 2,000 m (6,600 ft) above the Guatemalan Highlands to the north. It dominates the local landscape except when hidden by cloud cover. The volcano is within 5 to 10 km (3.1 to 6.2 mi) of the city of Antigua Guatemala and several other large towns situated on its northern apron. Coffee is grown on the volcano's lower slopes.
