Unbeatable sunrise from the top of a volcano

The views from the highest volcano in El Salvador didn’t disappoint. The smallest country of Central America offers a variety of natural scenery that will leave you speechless, such as this sunrise in saw from the top of Santa Ana Volcano. The hike started at 2:30 a.m and four hours later we were at the crater, which has an emerald sulfur lake. Don’t skip it while visiting El Salvador! totally doable for first timers and any age if you go slower along the marked route to the top. #localescapes #elsalvador

From the moment I stepped foot on land in El Salvador, I felt at ease. I drove around the country and only came across beautiful, warmed-hearted people. The drive to the hotel was around 1 hour but it was scenic and pleasurable. I would also recommend staying in El Tunco which is a surfer town (a bit "touristy" but had a cool vibe). I was out at all sorts of hours of the night and I felt safe. I recommend renting a car so you can have the freedom to drive around and see places outside of the hotel. This is especially helpful if you are short on time! There are several activities you can do so you will definitely have things to keep you busy. The food in El Salvador is wonderful so please be sure to keep an empty stomach to try it! They use the US dollar as their main form of currency so keep this in mind. My time in El Salvador was amazing and I am already dreaming of when I can return! #elsalvador #centralamerica #eltunco #elsunzal
