Volcanoes National Park Vacation Packages
Covering an area of 6,300 acres of government and private land, Volcanoes National Park is a UNESCO Biosphere located an hour west of San Salvador, the capital city of the country and a place to be experienced on an El Salvador vacation.
The park is a protected natural area that encircles three massive volcanoes, Ilamatepec(or Santa Ana Volcano), Izalco and Cerro Verde. The Ilamatepec Volcano sits at 2,381 m (7,811.68 ft) above sea level making it the highest volcano in the country. The Izalco Volcano is 1,952 m (6,404 ft) above sea level and is nicknamed the “Lighthouse of the Pacific” because its eruptions once provided a beacon of light to ships crossing the ocean at night. Finally, Cerro Verde, which translates to “Green Hill”, is an extinct volcano with an eroded crater that is covered by a cloud forest. This crater is a haven for bird enthusiasts on an El Salvador tour providing a habitat for over 125 bird species.
The park is filled with a variety of habitats including mist forests, a sulphur lagoon and forestry plantations including coffee. The main draws of the park are nature hikes and volcano climbs that attract adventure enthusiasts because of the stunning views from the top. Guides and prearranged permits are required for hikes up the Ilamatepec Volcano and Izalco while Cerro Verde’s trails are open and the most accessible of the three volcanoes on el Salvador tours.
