Cerro Verde National Park

Cerro Verde National Park, located 40 miles from San Salvador, is a striking volcanic site that encompasses three distinct peaks and a tranquil crater lake. The landscape is draped in a lush jungle, crisscrossed by a network of hiking trails. Visitors can explore the oft-erupting Izalco, the highly active Santa Ana, and the extinct Cerro Verde, each offering unique perspectives and geological features. The park’s defining characteristic is its panoramic views of these volcanoes, providing a vivid backdrop for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
