With over 3,800 hectares (9,390 acres) to explore, El Imposible National Park is one of El Salvador’s most outstanding wildlife sanctuaries and home to a fantastic diversity of flora.  Here you can find over 1,000 species of plants and trees, some of which are endemic (native) to the region.  You’ll start your tour in the Mixtepe Visitors Center, as the guide gives you a brief introduction to the tropical jungle.  Then the guide will lead you along the wooded trail that leads to mountain view lookout points. 

You will then go even deeper into the jungle where you’ll find the spot known as the Junction, where the Guayapa and Venado Rivers meet.  This is a great spot to take a swim befote checking out the rock carvings at the Stamped Rock (Piedra Sellada) archaeological site.

	By Car: The turn to the park is located at km. 107 along the coastal highway (Highway 2) that goes to the Guatamalan border, La Hachadura. Turn right just after crossing the Ahuachapío River bridge and drive for 13.5 km (8.4 mi) to the park entrance.
	By Bus: In the Sonsonate terminal, take the bus that goes to the Guatemalan border (frontera La Hachadura/Cara Sucia). You'll have the option to get off in Cara Sucia or on the Ahuachapío River bridge, also known as "el desvío Ahuachapío". From either stop, you can wait for a pickup to take you to the park.
