Shore Excursion Cerro Verde & Izalco w/Pupusa-Making Experience

About this activity

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Cerro Verde National Park, perched atop an ancient extinct volcano. Take a leisurely hike along the volcano's rim, immersing yourself in the stunning views of lush forests, sprawling valleys, and the neighboring volcanoes of Izalco and Santa Ana. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating facts about the region's unique ecosystem and volcanic history.

On the return journey, pass through the charming, historic town of Izalco, founded by the Spanish in the 16th century. Here, you'll witness the traditional art of pupusa-making—a beloved Salvadoran dish. Get hands-on and try crafting your own pupusa, or simply savor the experience by tasting these delicious treats fresh off the griddle.

After a stroll through the colorful streets of Izalco, rich with culture and history, you’ll return to your ship, enriched with unforgettable memories of El Salvador's natural wonders and traditions
