Coatepeque

Considered an eighth wonder of the world, the volcanic crater lake Coatepeque (Lago de Coatepeque) of El Salvador measures eleven by fourteen kilometers. The environment exhibits great natural wealth and the lake’s vivid blue waters cyclically change to turquoise green. Mayan ancestors of four lineages migrated to various water-protected environments in 8207 BCE following a triple-star event; its Quiche lineage settled onto Teopán, an island within this lake.
