Breathtaking Experience Led by Phenomenal Tour Guides - We went on the Santa Ana Hiking tour with Osmaro (Maru) on our second day in El Salvador. Maru welcomed us with a warm smile, addressed us by name, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the hike. He was caring, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tour was enjoyable, moderately challenging, and incredibly satisfying once we reached the top. The view of the volcano was breathtaking and truly unique.
On our fourth day, due to our wonderful experience with Maru, we decided to book another tour, this time with Herbert. This tour included visits to the historic center, Suchitoto, the rainbow slide, Cascada Los Tercios, and the Boquerón Volcano. Herbert also helped us learn some Spanish and the Nawat language. He would pop quiz us during the trip, which helped reinforce our learning. Herbert had an impressive understanding of El Salvador’s history and attractions, and we felt we gained a lot of knowledge from him. He also suggested several excellent restaurants for us to try for dinner.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience! :)

Absolute best Santa Ana Volcano Experience - If you visit El Salvador 🇸🇻 this tour is an absolute must! This tour starts at 6am and you might think it’s a bit early but trust me, it is absolute worth it if you want to get the real Santa Ana Volcano experience, having the volcano basically to yourself. The guide is super knowledgeable and during your hike will break down every question that you have about El Salvador, its history, culture and people.

So Amazing!! - This trip was awesome! The guide, Herberto, was the best guide in the world. He explained so many things to us down to the origin of the language. He was so supportive, nice, and knowledgeable. You have to book your trip with these people, they will pick you up from the hotel and bring you back when the trip is complete. Ware comfortable shoes. Enjoy!

Excellent experience - The best idea of this tour is the early hike, you can hike in peace without a crowd and when you reach the volcano, can take pictures without disturbances.
Herbert Burgos was amazing very knowledgeable, provided lots of information and made the trip very fun.
We got picked up from our Airbnb without extra cost. Herbert was very punctual, was there 15 minutes before. I really recommend this trip and ask to book with Herbert Burgos.

Amazing experience with incredible views! - The early start and drive to Santa Ana Ilamatepec were worth it. Tough hike in parts, but a mostly steady climb with shade to begin! Osmaro was an incredible guide, provided plenty of extra info about El Salvador during the drives, and allowed us to set the pace during the hike. The views as we hiked were amazing as did the walk around the top of the volcano. The visit to Lake Coatepeque was beautiful too!

Amazing view - Worth the hike!
I’d take hiking boots with ankle support. It’s a long hike with loose dirt. The rocks are solid but the hiking boots or hiking shoes will give you the best grip going up.
Once at the top it’s windy so pending the time of year you may need a jacket.
Def worth the hike, the view is amazing!

Fantastic tour with a great guide - This tour was one of the highlights of our time in El Salvador. An early start for the hike meant we were the first ones to the volcano summit. The views on the walk are amazing and the trip to the lake was very enjoyable. Osmaro was a great guide. He was friendly and chatty throughout, very knowledgeable and helped us understand his country a little more. Thanks Osmaro!

Exhilarating - What a wonderful experience this was! I got to see a beautiful side of my family’s country that I’ve never got to experience before, I was in awe. Due to the weather we weren’t able to climb to the top of the volcano, but our amazing tour guide Herbert found a way for us to still enjoy of our trip and get to see/experience new things El Salvador has got to offer. Herbert taught us lots of interesting facts about El Salvador and even taught us a few words of the original language! We had a great and would definitely use Eco Tours for our next trip. I highly recommend them. Herbert, thank you again for such an amazing time and for the new memories!
