Volcan de San Salvador — Attraction in Departamento de La Libertad

The Santa Ana volcano tour is a must do in El Salvador. I highly recommend booking through Cotuzas Tours as Jorge is an amazing tour guide. Plus, this is a private tour meaning you get your own private transportation with your group and personalized service. PLUS, Jorge offers free drone photos and videos, all included in the price, so it's definitely a better deal than the other tours.

If you stay on the broad one and it goes down for longer than 5 minutes, you are on the wrong way. Look out for white circles with orange bullseye. It took me 4 hours but without hitting app. 15 dead ends it probably would only take 1.5 hours. Good shoes and...

Great way to spend a few hours when in San Salvador. We organise a guide who took us up the mountain, early in the morning, to avoid the crowds. Took about 30min from our hotel to get to the top. The air is fresh and clean, and the view is amazing. $2 a person to get in and the walk to the top is easy. On the way down, we stopped at a cafe with amazing views of the city for early lunch and a...
