The views at the top and while on the hike are simply gorgeous! Our guide Gaby was terrific and possessed a wealth of knowledge. Don't hesitate, book the tour! I did not realize that the hike entailed traversing sizeable loose rocks, but it was still doable in my slip-on skechers... although I would definitely recommend more appropriate shoes. The lunch with a view of the lake was also enjoyable and beautiful.

I had the pleasure of doing this tour with Diego, my guide, and I couldn't be happier. The Volcano was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. The hike is not the easiest, but it is definitely worth it. The views were amazing and the group was great. Diego was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to El Salvador!

Super friendly and helpful guide (Diego). Views to die for. Do this hike with a hat and a long sleeve shirt or you are going to get sunburnt.
