It first erupted in 1770 and became famous for its regular activity, earning the nickname "Lighthouse of the Pacific" due to its visible eruptions from ships at sea. The volcano is part of the Cerro Verde National Park and stands at an elevation of 1,950 meters (6,398 feet). The last significant eruption occurred in 1958, after which the volcano has remained dormant.

Its unique geological features and historical significance make it an important site in El Salvador.
