'''Tolimán''', also known as '''Volcán Tolimán''', is a [[stratovolcano]] in [[Guatemala]], on the southern shores of [[Lake Atitlán]]. Part of the [[Sierra Madre de Chiapas|Sierra Madre]] mountain range, the volcano has an elevation of 3,158 [[metre|m]] (10,361 [[Foot (length)|ft]]) and was formed near the southern margin of the [[Pleistocene]] Atitlán III caldera. The top of the volcano has a shallow crater and its flanks are covered with the thick remains of ancient lava flows that emerged from vents in the volcano's flanks.

== Cerro de Oro ==
A parasitic [[lava dome]], known as Cerro de Oro, was formed on the volcano's northern flank, which may have erupted a few thousand years ago.
