Great hike that ends in an amazing view - Great time hiking. The hike is rough, definitely have a little physical fitness. But it’s worth it. Herbert made the hike up smooth and fun. We were able to hike at our pace and stop when needed for a break. The view from the top is amazing and there’s ice cream at the top for extra motivation :)

10/10 Experience you can’t miss! - This is definitely an experience you can’t miss when in El Salvador! Our guide Osmaro was great! He even picked up my group at a halfway point to accommodate the side of town we were coming down from which we really appreciated. It was definitely a challenge for me to hike, but totally worth it. He took us to eat at a delicious restaurant, and then to swim in the lake afterwards. Such a full day of adventure. Definitely recommend with Osmaro!
