Overview

Hike the Youngest Volcano in El Salvador, Volcan Izalco is still active, its last eruption was in 1968. The uniqueness of Volcan Izalco is that you can walk inside its crater. Izalco Volcano's highest point is 1950 meters above sea level. It was called the lighthouse of the pacific because of its constant eruptions which lasted until 1968. Izalco Volcano Hike is an extreme hike due to its difficulty and steepness. The hike starts at Cerro Verde, an inactive volcano next to Izalco, at an altitude of 2000 mts above sea level. We descend down to the base of Izalco and we have to ascend to Cerro Verde again to finish the Hike. It takes between 6 to 7 hours to complete the hike. Recommended only for advanced hikers.
