Our Excursions

Visit the crater of El Boqueron Volcano. It is a small hike with quite a few stairs. This is slightly over an hour's drive from the house.  There are a variety of little shops and special fruits that you can only find here!

El Puerto de Diablo is a short hike where you can see a panorama of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. The views are amazing and it is in an area called Planes de Renderos where all the restaurants have beautiful views.

The Botanical Gardens are located right in San Salvador in the crater of an old, dormant volcano. There are a wide variety of trees, flowers, and animals to explore. The grounds are flat and it is an easy stroll. 

The Rainbow Slide is located at Picnic Steakhouse which also offers a carousel and a stunning view of the city of San Salvador and beyond. It's a fun way to tap into your inner child and simply do something for the joy of it.

This is an intense hike. You have to hike down to the waterfalls and then hike back up the mountain. There are several different heights where you can jump right into the waterfall. It is cool and peaceful down at the bottom and we can pack some food and stay as long as you would like.

This is a short walk to a community of over 35 monkeys. We can bring some bananas and plantains and they will eat right from your hand. This walk is in an area with alligators and beautiful birds and flowers. There is a resort on the river to have lunch and enjoy some time by the pool relaxing. You can also go kayaking here or add a boat tour.

These mountain towns require a much longer drive of about 3 hours but the sights you will see along the way are beautiful. There is a wide variety of options in this area to explore from active volcanoes to waterfalls and beautiful gardens and street markets.

We aren't too far from one of the largest cacao plantations in all of Central America. It is 414 acres and right next to the monkey reserve. If you would like to learn how cacao goes from fruit to the delicious chocolate you love to eat, this is the tour for you! End the tour with a freshly brewed cup of hot chocolate. The chocolates made from this plantation have won silver and gold medals in the International Chocolate Awards.

El Tunco is a hot spot for surfing and nightlife. It is about 25 minutes from our place and the little town comes alive in the evenings. There are a lot of little shops, and restaurants along the boardwalk on the ocean, and has a fun and lively vibe. If you want a surf lesson, this is the best place to get one.
