Experience natural wonders in this area. Just five kilometers from Chinameca center is Cerro el Pacayal, with a broad, dry lagoon whose active fumaroles are fascinating on the northern slope. Once part of a geothermal exploration project, this hill offers visitors excellent views of Chinameca volcano.
