A powerful eruption at Fuego Volcano in Guatemala sends a thunderous explosion through the air, creating a shockwave strong enough to shake the camera. These explosive events are a hallmark of Fuego’s persistent activity, often producing roaring sounds, ash plumes, and visible shock fronts.
Located just southwest of Antigua, Fuego is one of Central America’s most active volcanoes, known for its frequent Strombolian eruptions and occasional paroxysmal events. Watch as the blast wave ripples through the landscape — a raw reminder of the immense power beneath the Earth’s surface.

Where is this camera?
The wonderful people at Finca San Cayetano are graciously hosting our camera at their resort. You can experience this same view in person by staying at one of their 10 luxury cabins and wake up to the sights and sounds of the majestic Fuego Volcano! Here’s their website: https://sancayetano.gt/. The camera is about 8km away from the top of Fuego. Sometimes you'll be able to hear the eruptions. Due to the speed of sound, it'll take about 26 seconds after you see an explosion before you hear it.
