No se pierdan escalarlo. Desde el parque del cerro verde salen tour guiados los fines de semana. Desde su cráter en un día despejado pueden contemplar todo el occidente de El Salvador. more »

An amazing place with very beautiful views. It is not a very expensive one day excursion with a not very difficult hike to the top. It costed me just over 10 dollars for everytjing including oublic transport to the place. There was also a guy selling an ice cream on the top, so it was possible to enjoy the views with a frozen banana on the top!

Great place to visit for local and foreign people. Amazing views from Izalco Volcano and Coatepeque Lake. This is a volcano with a green sulfuric pond inside thats is boiling at all times. Pretty awesome. Visit El Salvador.

It's absolutely unusual experience to see green boiling water in a crater. Going up is no so hard. If the sky is clear, you can see another volcano and coatepeque lake on the top. Definitely worth visiting.

The best place in El Salvador

My wife and I decided to hike this volcano, it has been one of my toughest experiences but it was worth it. I would recommend this is a MUST DO when you visit El Salvador. Advise: You will need some guides from the National Park in order to hike, prepare to pay some fees from $1 for nationals until $20 for internationals.
