Isla Zacate Grande is a stratovolcano in Honduras. The volcano forms a 7 by 10 km (4 by 6 mi) island in the Gulf of Fonseca and has seven satellite cones, including Guegensi Island located 3 km (2 mi) from Zacate Grande.[1] The island has seven of the 13 Aldeas (known as towns or neighborhoods) son of the city Amapala. These are subdivided into hamlets.
