What an amazing experience! The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking - totally worth the hike! Our tour guide, Alfredo, made sure we were safe when hiking up and down to the waterfalls. Lunch at El Tunco Beach was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and had great ocean views. Our driver, David, was great as well! Beautiful, kind people and overall an amazing experience! Would definitely book a tour with him again!
The HIGHLIGHT of our trip!

Alfredo was genuinely friendly and knowledgeable. Our hike and tour was AMAZING! Alfredo picked us up from our hotel and gave us a wonderful El Salvadorian history and geography lesson, while driving to our hiking starting point. We hiked until we met the waterfalls and then we were able to get into the water. We were not brave enough to jump, but Alfredo ensured that we had a fun time anyway. We literally had a photo shoot in the waterfalls. Alfredo was such a gentleman, he offered to hold our bags and ensured that we had enough pictures and video to create an album of our trip. After the hike we enjoyed lunch at a restaurant along the black beach. The waves were so large, that they met us at the table. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and conversations with him. After lunch we stopped by a local vendor and obtained fresh coconut water. If you only have time for one activity while visiting El Salvador, ensure that THIS is the activity you engage in. The Wet and Wild: Tamanique Waterfalls and world-famous El Tunco Beach activity is phenomenal. Thank you for making our trip so special Alfredo.
