Guatemala, volcano activity - three departments under yellow alert
 

Three Guatemalan departments are under yellow alert, as a preventive measure in the face of the sustained activity of Fuego Volcano. Sacatepequez, Chimaltenango, and Escuintla .

Fascinating - thanks!

Is this anywhere near where I'm headed?
Flores/Tikal
Antigua
San Pedro de Laguna

Thanks, Lynnie

Hi, Lynnie -
It's not likely, but it's located close enough to Antigua and Guatemala City that the airport and ground transportation could be affected if there's a major eruption. Pacaya erupted last May/June and the airport was closed for awhile due to the ash. Of course, the Iceland volcano stopped air traffic in Europe, so you never know!! When do you go?

Here's a website with updates:

Thanks for the website. I arrive in Guatemala City on Feb. 25th

Well, you're a lucky duck! I don't get to go back until July.
