Lago de Coatepeque

Large crater lake surrounded by wooded hills in western El Salvador. Once a sacred site for the ancient Maya.

Sailing. Swimming. Diving. Phenomenal panoramic views highlighted by the enigmatic turquoise color of Lake Coatepeque. It’s magnificent and unreal.

I would also recommend staying at the Cardedeu Hotel if you want to make a night of it… or a longer stay. Superb hostel with a comfortable feel. Brilliantly designed. Spacious rooms. Continental breakfast.
