It has very pleasant waters, and is an ideal place to practice diving, sailing, canoeing, swimming and water skiing. Lake Coatepeque is one of the most beautiful tourist places you can visit in El Salvador. It has a large area where you can practice various sports, in addition to its beauty it has an excellent panoramic view of the Santa Ana volcano and the Cerro Verde. It is a lake of volcanic origin since it is located in a crater so in certain parts its water is thermal. It has an island that can only be accessed by ferry.

(Driver and Guide were great… BUT!) I paid extra to receive private transport and private guide to Santa Ana Volcano. No portion of this tour was private. The tour company advised me the day before that my transport would include 4 other people, and the pick up time would be 4:15am vs the initial 8am. In essence changing the tour time from 8am-4pm, to to 4am-6:30pm, to account for pick and drop off of the other passengers! To compensate me for the additional cost of the private tour the operator advised that my entrance to the natural park would be covered and I would receive a private guide once at the park. I agreed. However, no one in the group paid an out of pocket entrance fee, and I did not receive the “local private guide” that I was told. I stayed with the original group of 4 the entire time. I’m requesting a reasonable reimbursement for the difference between the cost of the private tour and the shared group tour- but it is being denied. I will reject the entire transaction with my credit card company shortly. There was no portion of this tour that was private. If you book private, just know, it may not be private.

The Santa Ana volcano hiking and lake Coatepeque tour organized by Maure Tours was the best experience during our visit to El Salvador. It was a challenging experience for our family, but stunning views of the volcano’s crater at the top made all our efforts well worth it. We truly enjoyed this fairly difficult hike of approximately 5 hours ( 2.5 hr up and 2.5 hr down) that took us through a picturesque forest that turned into a stony terrain when we got closer to the top. Our tour guy Gabriel was wonderful, patient and very helpful. Thanks to him we made it safely to the summit and down. The lunch at the restaurant with the view on Coatepeque lake was delicious. I highly recommend this tour with reliable and punctual Maure Tours.
