Awesome guide, amazing hike!
Pablo was an awesome guide and made the whole morning a lot of fun. The hike up Santa Ana was so cool, and the early start was worth it for the views at the top. Highly recommend this tour, and ask for Pablo if you can!

Incredible hike
What a hike !!! Our guide Pablo was really amazing and the pace of the group nuts (in a good way) I’ve never hiked so high in such a short time. The views were rewarding; a pity it was so windy at the top… it made me a bit scared

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.

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.
