Izalco & Cerro Verde: Private 2-Vulkan-Tour! Unvergesslich!

After having a disappointing experience trying to arrange this hike through another company (the only other one), I was so grateful to find this team. From the very beginning, they were communicative, punctual, and professional—everything I needed after a stressful start to my trip. My guide Francisco was knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about the region and the volcano itself. I felt safe, supported, and taken care of the entire time. The Izalco hike is no joke—it's steep and exposed—but the views are absolutely worth it, and having a guide who clearly cared made all the difference. This is experience is also much better than Santa Ana--because who loves crowds (not me) We then had lunch at the Lake afterwards They handled transportation, logistics, and timing flawlessly. I only wish I had booked my entire itinerary through them from the start. Highly recommend this team to anyone—especially solo travelers—looking for a reliable, respectful, and empowering experience.

Spent outstanding 2 days with Alfredo. First day, we did Izalco, second, Santa Ana. He’s responsible, knowledgeable, service oriented, with great English. Highly recommended.

I hired Alfredo Avalos (alfredo@exploreelsalvador.com) who was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who took me on a 2-day hiking tour of El Impossible National Park, Santa Ana volcano (at Sunrise) and Izalco volcano. He provided camping gear and was fun to hang out with. I highly recommend his services!

Alfredo helped us with everything in Izalco. First of all, we took a breakfast at Subway cause we didn’t have enough time to take it at our hotel. The journey was amazing, we were delighted with every minute from the 4 hours trekking trip. We hope to come back to Izalco.

Mi mas sincero agradecimiento a Alfredo Avalos, guia certificado de Explore El Salvador. Recomendado al 100%!!! Guía instruido con gran disposición y empatía! Una calidad humana increíble...enamorado de su país y la naturaleza. Los invito a conocer El Salvador con Alfredo!
