What travelers are saying
- gborotravelerSouth Pole239 contributionsGreat place for a day trip out of the city. Quite a drive to get there but the hike up to the crate is worth the amazing views. It’s moderate to medium hike. Trail is pretty steep and the stapes are pretty uneven and old. But the views at the top amazing. Also increase in elevation it is a bit cooler up on the volcano. Lots of booths and a few restaurants at the parking lot. Admission was two dollars us for oforeigners. Best spent entire trip.Written July 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DesertRose177 contributionsThis is a must see if you are in San Salvador.
If I hadn't looked it up before hand I would have wondered what my guide was thinking as the outside is very plain indeed but as soon as you enter you will see what the hype is about.
Not only the lighting but the sculptures are like nothing else I have seen anywhere.Written June 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The color and monstrosity of the volcano is so impressive. On a clear day you can see the ocean!Written June 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DesertRose177 contributionsWhile this isn't as imposing as many other ruins it is impressive in it's own right for giving a different perspective on Myan culture and certainly is worth a stop.Written June 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ThaliaSan Antonio, TX2 contributionsSuch a great garden! It also has a nursery where you can purchase plants.
It is in the middle of an industrial park with tight parking. I would advise getting there before 1pm to avoid not finding parking.Written July 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The atmosphere was very cool, and it felt safe all around.Written December 4, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bucketlisttravellersSydney, Australia3,783 contributionsEl Sunzul is the next beach along from El Tunco and is a 20 minute walk down the road. There are a few nice hostels near here.
The beach is a black sand beach and there are a lot of rocks to walk over before you get to the sand. There is a cave on one end of the beach which the ocean enters and recedes from with each passing wave.
There are some restaurants along the beach, but the area was pretty quiet when we were there on a weekday afternoon. We enjoyed swimming here and watching the locals play beach soccer.Written February 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Would love to return in the dry season and get out on a boat on the lakeWritten January 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN1,581 contributionsBeautiful region. It was about a 90 min drive from San Salvador and I came up here on a personal guided tour with Centro America Tours. My guide Benjamin was excellent. The hike to the top of the Santa Ana Volcano was the highlight of my stay in El Salvador. My guide on the trail Herzon was great. 4 mile round trip hike that was moderately strenuous but beautiful views along the way including of the nearby Izalco Volcano. Sights and smells of the active volcano when we reached the top were awesome. Didn't see too much wildlife when visiting but it was midday. There is also an observation point with views of Lake Coatepque in the park. It was clouding up at this point in the afternoon but I could imagine this would be beautiful from photos that I've seen.Written January 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Antonio MCopenhagen, Denmark45 contributionsEl Salvador has been known for its excellence in the production of coffee beans, later known in the newspapers for its horrific civil war, now also positions itself in the art world!
The museum has a lot of artwork but unfortunately, all the descriptions are available only in Spanish. The souvenir shop is very small and we did not find any interpretations of the paintings such as postcards or magnets.Written May 4, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GeneralShamuNew York City, NY848 contributionsWent into a lancha (motor boat) to go into the center of the lake and learn about the history and feel the heat of the water where the magma underneath the lake still heats the lake (noticeably so). Plenty of restaurants and kids activities in this area as well.
Restrooms are relatively clean - 25c/use.Written June 4, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a shame the recent storm destroyed it.Written September 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
