Volcán de San Vicente – Chinchontepec

An extreme adventure and hot-spring springs are part of the tourist offering from one of the highest volcanoes in El Salvador, also known as Chinchontepec.

Before starting the hike to ascend the volcano, on its slopes you can visit the “infernillos,” hot-spring springs that emit strong vapors and sulfuric smoke.

If you feel like visiting the ausoles (volcanic fissures from which hot water and sulfur emerge to the surface), it is advisable to bring a guide, who will surely tell you the most popular stories of the area. To climb this volcano, bring comfortable clothing, water, sunglasses, sunscreen, a cap, and appropriate footwear so you can have the best experience.

Regardless of what you choose to do, the adventure of ascending the imposing volcano is challenging but rewarding, because the landscapes and the contact with nature are worth it.
