About Laguna de Apastepeque

Apastepeque Lagoon offers visitors plenty of fun, beautiful natural landscapes, and a tranquil setting in San Vicente.

Its name in Nahuatl means “Hill of the large vessels” or “Hill of Alabaster” because it rests on a volcanic crater. The vegetation covers its shores, typified as subtropical tropical rainforest, with a tropical transition, ideal for an outdoor exploration adventure.

Apastepeque Lagoon is considered one of the main life zones of El Salvador. In this destination, visitors can boat, taste the various local dishes at the restaurants along its shores, or enjoy a relaxing swim in its waters.
