One epic hike to the tallest volcano in El Salvador.

An experience suitable for all the family from 8+ years.

With 2,381 m (7,811 ft) Santa Ana volcano is the tallest in the country. You reach the rim of this massive crater formed by old lava flows, ash layers from countless eruptions and a turquoise sulfur-acid crater lake at the bottom.
Walk through the lush cloud forest on the skirts to the wasteland on the top, enjoying some of the most spectacular views of the volcanic belt. One of the most rewarding hikes in the country to one of the most active volcanoes in El Salvador.

THIS IS NOT THE 10:00 AM GROUP DEPARTURE.
As a licensed guide I'm granted for privileged access before the large group departure. This gives you a more pleasant experience skipping the crowds, the slow walkers and the warmest hours. Book with me and have a nicer experience.

I'm a professional tour guide licensed by the Ministry of Tourism of El Salvador and COVID-19 Safety Protocols Certified by OSN El Salvador. You can check my credentials, TripAdvisor reviews and testimonials in the About me section.
