Itinerary
Description of the Tour Summit Conquest : Ilamatepec Volcano We started our adventure in Los Volcanes National Park to hike to the top of Santa Ana Volcano (Ilamatepec), the highest point in the country. For about 3 hours (ascent and descent), we will travel paths that cross three types of vegetation: from the foggy forest to the volcanic terrain of rugged rock. The effort is rewarded when you arrive at the crater, where you will see a stunning turquoise green sulfurous water lagoon inside, with a 360-degree view that spans the Pacific Ocean, Izalco Volcano and Cerro Verde.
Relaxation and Gastronomy : Lake Coatepeque After descending from the summit, we will move to the majestic Lake Coatepeque, a body of water of volcanic origin located in a caldera. We will enjoy a well-deserved lunch in a restaurant with panoramic views, where you can taste local cuisine while admiring the vastness of the lake and its waters, which at certain times of the year change to a vibrant turquoise hue. It is the perfect setting to rest and enjoy the cool breeze after the morning walk.

Everything was very beautiful! Great experience, I do recommend it!
An incredible experience from start to finish. They helped us choose the perfect volcano to climb based on our physical condition, and the advice they gave us was excellent. Throughout the hike, they accompanied us and were attentive to us at every moment, making the experience feel safe, personalized, and very special. Additionally, they completely adapted the tour to our needs and even included a visit to some Mayan ruins, which made the day even more memorable. You can really see the passion and dedication with which they work. Totally recommended!
