The cathedral is surrounded by lava after the youngest volcano in the world was born in 1943. the volcano spewed lava for about 10 years, eventually engulfing the unfinished cathedral about 5 kms from the volcano itself. both the cathedral and volcano (now dormant and an easy climb) can be viewed up close. The best way is to arrive on horseback through beautiful pine forest from the nearby town of Angahuan. sorry about the poor picture quality- handheld camera
i was there
