The stratovolcano has a summit elevation of about 13.8k ft. above sea level, or around 4.2k m. Considered inactive, it's one of the Western Hemisphere's most prominent peaks.

The trek up to Tajumulco volcano in Guatemala was one of the best experiences and views we have ever had. Tajumulco is the highest peak in central America. We drove 4 hours to meet our local guide and left the next morning on our overnight hike up the mountain. We set up camp and then went to view this epic sunset. The next morning, we woke up early to hit the top peak to see a perfect sunrise before we walked back down. We were lucky to have perfect conditions, and as our guide Daniel said, "I have hiked this mountain over a hundred times, and this may be the best sunset I have ever seen."
