Amazing Experience! - This was a great experience overall, everyone should do it at least once. It took us 4hrs round trip, one of us had difficulty going up (won't say who lol). I would say being some what fit definitely helps but if not at your own pace you can get to the top. The second half going up is very rocky and more difficult to do. Once you reach the top it would have been worth it. David, our tour guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. He made sure to check on the entire group frequently to make sure we were okay.

Great day tour with our guide Francis to Santa Ana volcano and view of Coatepeque lake. - Great tour overall. Hike was challenging but I love hiking so it was great. The views at the top are well worth it. Our guide Francis was very knowledge and shared great information on the history of El Salvador and the areas we were visiting.

Amazing Must do Santa Ana Hike! - It was a very nice hike with amazing views! Francis was nice, knowledgeable, gave us some history, and was generous with taking photos which is very important for solo travelers like myself! You dont have to be in the best shape, but you do need to be prepared. I'm in okay shape, coming from a low elevation area and it definitely challenges you a little bit. Wear good shoes, buy the walking stick offered, and bring water. Lunch with view of Lake Coatepeque was beautiful. Food at the restaurant to me was subpar. If you love to have an adventurous & active part to your visit/vacay, you will love this . Not everyone is able to do this hike which it makes it that much sweeter the view at the top! Do it! It was one of my favorite parts of my El Salvador trip!

10/10 great day! - Josue was amazing!!! We knew this tour would be great but we had no idea on the amount of information that we would receive from him. We learned so much about this beautiful country. The tour was fun and we loved the restaurant after on the lake! I definitely would recommend this tour to anyone visiting. It doesn’t feel touristy at all, going hiking with a local. He’s also a great photographer 🙂
