Skip the heat and the queues with a private early-access guided hike up the Santa Ana volcano. Depart ahead of the daily departure group and travel at your own pace. Go through the cloud forest on the skirts of the volcanic crater, past the steamy sulfuric acid lake and experience the beauty of the multicolored layers of ash along the rim of the volcano. You’ll also see the views of Coatepeque Caldera lake below.

Get ahead - avoid the warmest hours of the day and long queues

Epic Santa Ana Hike with the Wonderful Alfredo

Francesca_F, June 2022

I highly recommend the Santa Ana hike with Alfredo. Expect an early morning hike with the privilege of experiencing the cloud forest and natural wonders of Santa Ana on a private tour, beating the afternoon heat and crowds. Alfredo is a knowledgeable and attentive guide with passion for the land and country. It was a true pleasure to get to know Alfredo. Also, be sure to ask about his mom's pupuseria! 10/10
