Santa Ana Volcano and Lake - An Unforgettable Journey

This is an amazing tour with an amazing guide. Alfredo is very knowledgeable, entertainment, honest and passionate about this work. I've been on dozens of tours in various countries and I found him to be one of the best. Very great value. Highly recommended.

Mr. Diaz was grade service. Very professional and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure I made unforgettable memories.

It was great! Our guide Alfredo was quite knowledgeable in the history of El Salvador and made the tour really fun. The views are incredible!

I absolutely enjoyed the day with Alfredo who knew a lot about the local culture and cuisine. He spoke very good English as well and was extremely friendly to be with!

Alfredo was amazing. He’s very knowledgeable about the history and ecology of the area, and very friendly. Speaks great English and was accommodating to all members of the group. Answered every question we had.

The whole trip is supposed to be 9 hours from 8:30am to 5:30pm. First off, the tour van was late and arrived at 8:50am. We were taken to San Andre - a Mayan site and museum. Then we were taken to a cafe at a crater lake (Lago de Coatepeque) for lunch. The view was spectacular. The last trip to the National Park of Cerro Verd. It was around 2:20pm. The tour guide said that the next walking tour would start at 3:00pm and it would last an hour. However, he had to take one of the tour member to the beach after this, so we had only 20 mins there. The time management of the tour guide was very poor and I will not recommend the tour.

He was great company for the day, very informative, accommodating, and cheery. Highly recommend booking your tour with him!

Our tour guide Alfredo was amazing in absolutely every way. He was knowledgeable, personable and fun. Full of information and answered all of our questions no matter what they were. Our lunch spot was perfect and the food was excellent. He even took all of our photos for us like a professional. He helped my mom up and down all of the steps, every single time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better tour.

Omar and Ado were great. So friendly and informative and the tour took us to some great spots. Lunch on the lake was so good and the views were breathtaking. The only recommendation I would have is a separate tour for those from the beach area. It was way too much time traveling and being stuck in traffic due to drop offs in San Salvador. If you’re coming from El Tunco be prepared for a very long day but overall a very nice trip. Thanks again to our wonderful tour guides.

We loved this location and the views were amazing and worth the hike. We are avid hikers and had no problem but the description made it sound like most people with no illness can make it. I just want to put an emphasis that it is a difficult hike. Going up is strenuous and coming down (the first part) there are rolling stones on the ground and difficult not to slide. A walking stick would have been helpful. Also we expected to have another activity after lunch as the description said after lunch go to the lake for a water activity and free time. But after lunch our guide was going to take us back. I asked what about the second half of the tour and read the description and he kindly took us to a spot by the lake were I could put my feet in the water for 10 min. we left the lake around 3:20pm and due to severe traffic did not get back to san salvador until 5:45pm. not sure if this would have been a better commute at a later hour. it took us only one hour and 30 min to get there in the morning. Another point to mention is that after we got to the volcano park at around 9:00 am we had to wait 30- 45 min for the park rangers to let us start our hike. So despite having our own guide, they still require a park ranger to accompany the groups during your hike. We would recommend this tour as we really liked our tour guide and enjoyed the beautiful nature in El Salvador, but i would clarify what is included and time -line better next time.
