Volcan de Izalco

This hike starts in Las Brumas EcoPark, easily one of El Salvador’s best spots to get up close and personal with the volcanoes. This coffee cooperative turned ecotourism destination is located right in the middle of the three most iconic volcanoes in the country: Izalco, Ilamatepec (or locally known as Santa Ana) and Cerro Verde. In this adventure, you’ll start out by hiking through the cool, dense cloud forests of the park to the rocky base of Izalco Volcano. Rest here for a bit and then get ready to trek to the summit! After enjoying the perfect peak, the moon like crater and the panoramic views, you’ll head back down through the cloud forests to the EcoPark for lunch.
