Standing at the base of the majestic Sta Ana volcano in San Salvador, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and adventure. The highest towering peak is 2,362 m. (7,749 feet) in El Salvador loomed above me, beckoning me to come closer and explore its hidden secrets. Hiking Sta Ana Volcano in San Salvador would check off one of my bucket lists: walking on top of an active volcano.
Hiking the Sta Ana Volcano in San Salvador is an experience not to be missed for any avid hiker or nature lover. The hike was about 4-5 hours round trip and took us through a beautiful forested trail with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
After a short briefing from our guide (only 3 of us!), we set off on the hike, ascending the volcano’s steep slopes. The trail was well-marked and easy to follow, but the ascent was no walk in the park. The heat and humidity were intense, and I found myself quickly drenched in sweat as I climbed higher and higher.
