Santa Ana Volcano Hike

After picking you up from your selected meeting point in San Salvador, we'll begin our journey to a beautiful national park area of lakes and volcanoes. There, you'll encounter the magnificent Santa Ana Volcano, also known as Llamatepec, which rises up a staggering 7,812 feet above sea level.

Once we reach the foot of the volcano after an hour and a half, we'll begin our trek to what is the third highest point in El Salvador. Along the way, you'll also encounter some stunning panoramic viewpoints across the surrounding landscapes.

At the summit, you'll learn all about the fascinating geology, which dates back some two million years. From there, you'll admire the magnificent crater and the idyllic green lagoon which is found inside.

As you relax and take a well-deserved rest, we'll enjoy stunning views of the Coatepeque Lake, and the volcanoes of Izalco and Cerro Verde, with the Pacific Ocean in the background!

When the hike has finished, we'll return to the meeting point San Salvador.

Types of guided tour

During the booking process, you can opt for a more economical option that includes a local guide service at the volcano, but not for the rest of the trip. If you want to get the full experience, you can select an option that includes a guide service both at the volcano and on the way, meaning that you'll be accompanied by guide during the whole trip.

Pickup

During the booking process, you'll be able to select the point where you want to start the tour:

Real Intercontinental
Bambú City Center Shopping Mall (main entrance)
Courtyard Marriott Hotel
Entrance to Tunco Beach (main entrance)
Entrance to Playa Zonte (main entrance)

If you prefer that we pick you up at your hotel in San Salvador, there will be a supplemental fee of 10USD per person, which will be paid in cash on the day of the tour. If we pick you up at your accommodation in Tunco, the fee is 20USD per person.
