About Laguna de Alegría

Enjoy a peaceful and fresh atmosphere, covered by an amazing mist almost all year and a view that will impress you.

This lagoon, known as “The Emerald of America,” with greenish waters due to its high sulfur content and a pleasant mountain climate, is a tourist option in eastern El Salvador for nature and adventure lovers.

You can take a walk around this lagoon and appreciate the charms that surround its waters; moreover, many people prefer to take a dip and cover themselves in sulfur, considering it medicinal.
