The eruption killed almost 215 people leaving a similar number missing.Īuthorities said they were monitoring the latest eruption closely, but that no one had been evacuated. In 2018, an eruption caused rivers of lava to belch from its sides, devastating the village of San Miguel Los Lotes.
The volcano erupts every four to five years on average. Volcano Fuego is almost 16 km from Antigua, the country’s picturesque former capital and most prominent tourist attraction. What's the severity of the volcano Fuego? The road was reopened Sunday afternoon as the volcano’s activity subsided. Other than this, a road connecting southern and central Guatemala was also closed as a precaution, said Carlos Aquino, a spokesperson for the highway police. Two incoming flights were diverted, according to the aviation sources before it reopened around midday local time after winds changed direction taking away the ash from the facility.
