Great

Recomend David as your guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and caring of the group. It was good that it was a smaller group as crowds can get very large. It is very dusty, so I wish I would have brought something to cover my face, but some areas get a little stip, and you need to take deep breaths. Not bad of a hike at all. Great lunch! With view to the lake. 10/10.

Amazing excursion

The hike was a little challenging but rewarding and well worth it for somebody who craves a little exercise, with stunning views at the top. The lake was beautiful and serene, not many merchants approached or gave pressure to buy their goods. Our guide, Josué, was outstanding—not only was he attentive and supportive throughout the trip, but he also shared valuable insights about the social aspects of El Salvador.

Great Hike, however.....

What can I say? Or rather where should I start? 😊 My hubby and I were picked up on time by Pablo, who was our tour guide as well as our driver. Pablo speaks great English. Pablo was very engaging, friendly, funny, kind, considerate and most importantly: patient. This hike was no joke! If you are not in shape/don't really do any physical activity, you will not survive this hike! I walk approximately 2 miles every morning and 5 miles on the weekends. This hike kicked my butt! I wanted to give up, but Pablo was amazing! Once you reach to the top, the view is amazing and Pablo will take photos/videos for you. Please be advised that the incline going up is no joke! The descent is also somewhat strenuous! Please wear proper shoes! Bring water, hat, sunglasses. This hike is not for the weak! Thank goodness for Pablo and local guide Christina. Am I glad I did the hike? Yes. Would I do it again? Most definitely not! Lol!

Izalco Volcano

Santa Ana

Know before you go

Izalco Volcano is one of El Salvador’s most popular volcanoes to climb—after Santa Ana Volcano and San Salvador Volcano.
You must hike Izalco with an official guide. Public tours depart in the morning.
It takes 3-4 hours to summit Izalco and another hour or two to get down.
Climbing Izalco actually involves climbing two volcanoes: Cerro Verde and Izalco, and starts with a steep incline and decline.
Bring water, lunch or snacks, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, warm layers, trekking poles, and cash for the entry fee and the guide.
The park has limited food options, with a few local pupuserias and restaurants around the main entrance.
The climb up Izalco is challenging and requires a decent fitness level and mobility. If you feel like skipping the long hike, Cerro Verde has a few shorter, gentle trails offering great views of Izalco and Santa Ana volcanoes.
