As globetrotters who intend to be the planet’s first family to travel to all 196 countries, Volcán de Izalco, near Santa Ana, El Salvador, was a must-see. This is because in this nation, this stratovolcano is an iconic one, even featured on Salvadoran currency. Wikipedia tells me that the volcano erupted continuously from 1770 to 1958. However, even though there weren't any more eruptions since 1966, I did discover fumes and smoke bellowing out from several places. Unfortunately, we became ill right before our journey to the top, which by any means, is extremely strenuous. So we flew our drone instead, and thankfully, we were able to capture all that without laying a foot on the volcano itself. Thanks, DJI! It's truly a globetrotter's dream come true!

It's only 6 dollars plus 1 dollar tip. 1 hour 30 minutes hiking. I couldn't reach to the top cause I was sick. But it's not hard to make it

We came on a Saturday on December 21 with Salvadorean Tours. We got there at 10 am and there were plenty of people arriving already. We stayed for 1 hour and by the time we left, the parking lot was full. Our guide asked a local guide to join us on a loop walk where we went up 2 platforms to see the lagoon. That walk took 50 minutes but at a very leisurely pace. You do have to walk in the forest. We had great views on the platforms and the weather was nice.

The lake is on an ancient volcano with lots of things to do. We used a hostel that had day use amenities so we were able to kayak and jet ski around this beautiful lake.
