What are people saying about Cerro Verde National Park

Lauren_W, Mar 2026

Great Tour

Josué was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about his country and the sites we got to see. At no point did he make us feel rushed, but ensured we were able to do/see everything. Great trip, highly recommend if you’re here for a day and want to see the highlights. Lunch was great too.

Best day

Our guide Oscar made our day in El Salvador the best day so far on our cruise. He is polite, knowledgeable, genuine, and so easy to speak to. We learned so much from this man, and if we return to El Salvador I would 100% contact him again. The park was beautiful and the Papusa asking was fun.

Great tour if you want to see the volcano without doing the hike. Beautiful views, cerro verde park has a 45m walking tour, easy pace. We really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and share a lot info about the sites and the culture.

Completely worth it!!

I had the pleasure of booking a 6-day tour in the country of El Salvador, and it exceeded all my expectations!! It was my first time visiting the country, and it had such breathtaking landscapes, friendly locals, nice hotels, and great food. All the places were great, but my favorite was staying in the town of Ataco due to meeting many great locals where we spent hours talking to them, the great weather, the nice hotel, and walking around the town. I must commend our tour guide Alex for his exceptional service throughout the trip. He was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing his love for the country. He had a great understanding of the history, culture, and natural wonders of El Salvador, enriching our journey with fascinating facts and stories. His expertise and professionalism added an extra layer of enjoyment, making our trip even more memorable and stress-free. I would highly recommend booking a tour for anyone planning a visit to El Salvador, especially if it's your first time visiting.

Best shore experience

Josue (spelling?) was a wonderful guide who spoke English very well, and informed us on all major topics related to El Salvador’s history and current situation. We went up a volcano for excellent view and gardens, toured the “Pompeii” of the Americas Joya de Ceren to see an ancient village frozen in time, and enjoyed a restful lunch stop along scenic lake in caldera. We didn’t even have lunch but enjoyed sitting and looking at the lake. Driver was excellent getting us up and down the hills. Don’t expect grand structures at the ruins—it was just a farming village but well-preserved. Such wattle and daub construction would normally be lost to time.

Excellent tour & tour guide, Josué!

Josué, our tour guide, is OUTSTANDING! He speaks excellent English with a mild accent. He knows the history of his country including ancient, modern, political, and more. He talked to us along the way coming and going. He driver was waiting at the foot of our Oceania Vista cruise ship at least 30 minutes before our 8 am meeting time with the van nearby. We had 5 couples in van that held 15, so it was very comfortable. The sites were excellent and he and the driver Josué (yes, same name!) made sure we got back to our ship before 3 pm, we'll ahead of the ship's departure time of 4 pm, which we were all very glad about. He adjusted our stopping times with our collective agreement so we should be sure to get back on time. Some of the Oceania's own tours o ly got back shortly before 4 pm. Would love to do other tours with Josué.

Amazing trip!

This was a fantastic experience! There is a short 40 minute hike where you are able to see views of the Lago de Coatepeque. We went during a time when the lake turns turquoise and it was so beautiful. Lunch was also really great as the restaurant we went to was on the lake and there was an opportunity to jetski as well as ride the ferry. Overall this trip was a 10/10.

Excellent tour of El Salvador.

If you have one day to experience El Salvador away from the beach and the City do this tour! Roberto was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about history and proud to show off his country. Perfect English. We had a blast all day and really enjoyed lunch in the volcano crater. Felt safe the entire time. Trip is highly recommended!!
