Volcan Tacaná is the second highest peak in Central America at 4,066 metres (13,323ft), located in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas of northern Guatemala and southern Mexico.[1] It is also known in Mexico as Volcán Tacina.
From the summit you can see all the highest volcanoes in Guatemala and many others in Mexico. It is also is possible to see the Pacific Ocean. Tacana is considered to be an active volcano, and has a crater on of Mexican side, with some fumes. It was last active between January 1986 and February 1988.

The volcano can be climbed from either Guatemala or Mexico. The Guatemala side of the volcano is a shorter climb, but the trailhead is harder to reach and is a very long bus ride into a very remote part of the country. The Mexican side of Tacana is much easier to get to as its near some larger towns, but it is a longer hike from that side and usually takes two days, sometimes more.
