Overview

Escape the city on a 7–8 hour adventure to two of the most beautiful natural attractions near San Salvador.

Begin with a 3.5 km moderate hike through a lush coffee forest on San Jacinto Hill, where shaded trails lead to one of the city's best viewpoints. Enjoy panoramic views of the San Salvador Volcano, surrounding valleys, the city skyline, and, on clear days, Lake Ilopango.

After the hike, visit Apulo Recreation Park on the shores of Lake Ilopango, El Salvador's largest volcanic lake. Relax by the water, swim, enjoy lunch at a lakeside restaurant (at your own expense), or rent optional water equipment such as kayaks or jet skis.

This full-day tour is perfect for travellers looking to combine hiking, nature, stunning views, and a relaxing lakeside experience. Hotel pickup and drop-off from San Salvador are included.
