It's very strange that this place has a 4.5 rating. We took a boattrip in this supposedly water bird nature reserve. Yes, there are birds. But you need to wade through tons of garbage to get there. It's really sad to see. The government really needs to clean this up before it tries to sell it off as a national attraction. An El Salvador university study even showed traces of lead and mercury in these waters. The one star goes out to the boat driver/guide for trying his best.

Nice place to take a boattour. Its a 27 minute walk from Suchitoto centre. Ore take one off the mini taxies. There is even a bus going up and down. We visited the place where a man lived in a cave and where they display a crashed airplane which crashed in the lake 3 people died 1 survived thats why the four crosses in the Middle of the lake

This is very nice and tranquil lake! It has waterfront restaurants, pools, and a park. It also offered boat trips at a very affordable rate. Our guide even connected us with a restaurant on the other side of the lake which served AMAZING food!! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit there! Til next time!☺
