The Volcano Quezaltepeque

Quezaltepeque is the real name given to the volcano of San Salvador, which last erupted in 1917. A petrified lava river was formed after its eruption towards the north part of the department of San Salvador, which you can see from the road when traveling through the northern road heading towards Santa Ana.

Quezaltepeque is a name in Nahuatl which means "Place of the Quetzales".
