Alfredo was amazing, it was awesome having him for this trip. It wouldn’t have been the same without him!

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.

Breathtaking view!
Breathtaking view! Logistics: Pick up was on time. We stop a gas station for breakfast, snacks, and water for the trip. We arrived at main destination. The hike was relatively 5k. I recommend hiking shoes and bringing bottle water.

Izalco Volcano
  • 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.
