This is probably the most popular hike in El Salvador. Its a 2h bus ride from Santa Ana. The hike is moderate especially at the finalrocky segment if you don't have good hiking shoes. The guides are friendly while going up the volcano, but while coming down they just ignored, but thats ok. Once at the top, the views of volcano are spectacular. On a clear day, you will also see the lake Coatepeque here, you can check my video. I highly recommend this hike

The usual trail was closed and went the long way. This was a great hike. 7 hours up and back. We had a guide take us which is helpful as we may have got lost otherwise unless all trails has it well marked I didn't look. Recommend doing this hike!

I loved everything about the day trip! My guide Benjamin Franklin Rivera made it extra special by going above and beyond. He made sure I took breaks whenever needed and reminded me to enjoy the views along the way instead of rushing to summit. The summit without a doubt is absolutely stunning! Benjamin also knew the best spots to take photos. After we went to a local restaurant with a gorgeous view of Lago de Coatepeque. The food (Mojarra Dorada) was soooo delicious! Benjamin knew I was learning Spanish while in El Salvador so he talked to me in Spanish and encouraged me to practice with him. I not only learned more Spanish words from him but also so many things about the Salvadoran culture, history and politics. I also appreciated Benjamin's careful driving skills, since we encountered heavy rain and traffic jams throughout the day. I highly recommend this amazing tour with the equally amazing guide Benjamin! 😊
