5.00I went To see the Santa Ana volcano . The hike was very intense going up . Yes even if you are in shape and workout or hike often you are going to feel the burn on this hike . So come prepared but do not quit in the middle of the hike . The view from up above is amazing ! We also went to the lake after to eat lunch . Also our driver was great . His name was Josue as well. It was refreshing to finally have a driver who doesn’t look down his phone every second while driving . He did great especially in this traffic . Yes San Salvador has major traffic ! so prepare accordingly.

Samnta Ana Volcano and lake Coatepeche are must see locations!

5.00I never went to the Mayan ruins, surf city, the lakes were already mentioned in previous reviews. These locations were not listed separately. The Santa ana volcano is a must see location and you can take a tour and climb the side of the volcano. When you reach the summit, you get a breathtaking view of the iake inside of this active volcano. It takes around 2 hours each way for this hike and a tour guide is required for around $50 per person. You also have to a pay a small park fee, as well. This may seem like a lot of money, but can you imagine doing this hike on a daily basis as your job in all types of weather conditions. Lake Coatepeche is probably the most popular lake in all of ES. I could not believe all of the muliti million-dollar homes with their luxury boats on their private piers. There are a lot of nice restaurants to eat or small kiosk syle food locations, as well. I enjoyed going to this one restaurant that had a couple locations where you can swim within the complex. There is a kids swimming pool and a good place to take your family. You also must pull over on the side of the road and get a overall scenic photo of the entire lake at the summit. Once again, my favorite part of the visit was taking another scenic boat ride that only cost $25 for 2 people and I left at $6 tip here. The entire location is so beautiful, very clean, safe, inexpensive and a great place for some rest and relaxation.
