What To Expect
Lago de Coatepeque
We will start the day with a stunning view. We will stop at the panoramic viewpoints of this volcanic turquoise lake. Perfect time for photos, a quick breakfast (optional) or just breathing fresh air.
The jewel of the tour. We'll enter a coffee profit that's been operating since 1930. You will learn the whole process: from cherry picking, pulping and drying in mud yards, to roasting. We will finish with a gourmet coffee tasting in the historic house.

5.00My driver/guide, Wilman communicated with me prior to the tour via WhatsApp, which was greatly appreciated. Pickup was on time and it began with breakfast (I had pupusas) at a restaurant overlooking beautiful lake Coatepeque. The next stop was at a coffee plantation, where I learned about how coffee is processed (I purchased some coffee beans to take back home) , followed by a visit to Ataco, a town on the flower route with colorful murals. There I was able to try chicha, a homemade fermented fruit drink. So tasty! I especially enjoyed the next stop in Juayúa, which has a food festival every weekend. Very lively and fun, with live music! Our final stop was in Nahuizalco, where we visited the town and I learned about the Nawat language and the persecution the indigenous people of El Salvador have experienced. My driver/guide, Wilman, was VERY friendly, a great conversationalist, and provided me with EXCELLENT information on El Salvador and the sites visited. I was so glad I had such a wonderful guide on this tour, and I had a great time! Highly recommended!
