Description

Volcán Ipala is a 1,650-metre stratovolcano on the Chiquimula–Jutiapa boundary in Guatemala. Wikidata places it at 14.55° N, 89.63° W. Its roughly kilometre-wide crater contains Laguna de Ipala, whose surface is around 150 metres below the rim. That figure describes the crater rather than a measured descent on the visitor trail. A trip report describes the contrast between exposed slopes and a cold, windy crater.

From the parking lot at the end of Sue’s approach, the trail climbs to the lake area. Her group descended after resting. The report supplies neither distance nor trailhead coordinates.

Climbing Experiences

These Ipala travel videos are complemented by Sue’s first-hand account from 2015. Her report highlights rocky terrain and wind inside the crater; historical trip details should be distinguished from present visiting conditions.
