Mexico: Last minute flight to Mexico City

Parícutin is the youngest of 1,400 volcanic vents present in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. The volcano is said to have risen in a cornfield where its violent birth buried two nearby villages under lava and ash.

Now dormant, it stands roughly 2,500 metres high and offers a breathtaking insight into the power of Mother Nature.

To reach this natural wonder, Cheapflights is offering return flights from just £535 per person.

Departures are from London Gatwick, with travel valid from now until December 14th 2008.
