The Santa María Volcano is located in Guatemala, near the boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. Specifically, it is situated near a convergent plate boundary where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate. This tectonic activity contributes to the volcanic activity in the region, making Santa María one of the prominent stratovolcanoes in Central America.
