Itinerary
1
Parque Nacional Cerro Verde
Parque Nacional Los Volcanes (AKA Cerro Verde) is a compound of 3 major volcanoes, including the tallest (Santa Ana) and the youngest in El Salvador (Izalco).
The lands in and beyond the Protected Area are habitat for one third of the known wildlife species in El Salvador and a mix of environments: from the coffee farms and solidified lava flows and from the lush cloud forest to the moorlands.
This Protected Area is one of the natural jewels of El Salvador.

Santa Ana Volcano
With this privileged early access you skip the crowds, the warmest hours and waiting in line. You walk your own pace and spend more time enjoying by the crater.
Also called Santa Ana, this the tallest volcano in El Salvador and a terrific hike with stunning views to the valleys and Coatepeque caldera lake below. This is also the Easternmost peak of the majestic Apaneca mountain range, a belt formed by 14 volcanoes and the largest coffee country of El Salvador.
Along the hike we walk through diverse environments, from the cloud forest to wasteland on the top. A couple of miradores offer great views and a good place for a rest. Once on the top you can see the massive and deep crater with a steaming turquoise sulfuric-acid lake at the bottom and the fumaroles spewing sulfuric gas.
On a clear day from here you can see up to 9 volcanoes, the fertile Zapotitán valley and the Pacific Ocean coastline on the distance.
4 hours

Lake Coatepeque
Enjoy a Salvadoran lunch in a restaurant sitting on the rim of the ancient caldera, overlooking Coatepeque, the most beautiful natural lake of El Salvador lying placid on the outskirts of the Santa Ana volcano.
From here you can point to that volcano and proudly say: "Veni, Vidi, Vici".
