Chinameca (also known as El Pacayal) is a stratovolcano in central-eastern El Salvador. It lies north of San Miguel volcano and rises over the town of Chinameca. The volcano is topped by a 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide caldera known as Laguna Seca el Pacayal and a satellite cone on the west side Cerro el Limbo rises higher than the caldera rim. Fumaroles can be found on the north side and it has been the site of a geothermal exploration program.
