Cuexcomate, World's Tiniest Volcano!


So, according to my trusty guidebook, Puebla is home to the world's smallest volcano!  Gwow!  We rolled through yet another questionable part of town, and we found it.  Apparently it is related to the big volcano daddy, Popocatepetl, and is all decked out in tourist glory.

Cuexcomate's stats.


Thar she blows!  Just kidding!  It didn't blow.

Here I am making my way down this perfectly safe, and not at all flimsy stair thing, into the heart of the volcano!

Cheers on being halfway there!  And, here is proof that Eric was on this trip too.  :)

 Our reward for the climb was this crater of boiling sulfur water...according to the alleged "guide".  I might note that it did not, in fact, stink of sulfur, nor was there any steam that would indicate hot water.  Just saying.

The view up from the damp depth of the world's tiniest volcano.

Here we are, bathed in glorious light!

One last look at Cuexcomate before we head off to our next stop, Cholula!
