About this activity

Experience El Salvador’s #1 adventure with the exclusivity of a private service. This full-day tour combines the challenge of the Ilamatepec Volcano (Santa Ana) with the relaxation of Lake Coatepeque.

We will start with the ascent of the highest volcano in the country. Being private, you set the pace of the walk without pressure. At the top, you will be rewarded with the breathtaking view of the turquoise sulfur lagoon within the active crater and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.

After the descent, we will move to Lake Coatepeque, listed as Wonder of the World. You will have free time to enjoy a well-earned lunch overlooking the lake or swim in its refreshing waters before returning comfortably to your hotel.

Includes: Private transportation with A/C, management of local guides and lake visit.
