On this private tour, we’ll take you on the most affordable journey to hike to the crater of Santa Ana Volcano, also known as Ilamatepec Volcano.

We’ll pick you up from your hotel and drive you directly to the starting point of the hike. You’ll hike to the summit with a local guide. The entire hike takes about 3.5 hours, including 30 minutes at the summit to enjoy the breathtaking views of the crater and the surrounding natural beauty. After the hike, we’ll take you straight back to your hotel. (If you want to visit an additional place we can personalize your tour).

This tour includes private transportation from your hotel to the trailhead, and we'll make sure you get back to your hotel once the hike is done.

At the trailhead, you'll get some basic instructions and be grouped with 7 to 15 people, led by a certified guide from the national park.

The hike is easy to follow—just stick with your group along the clearly marked path. The guide is required because it's a park rule.
