From Santa Ana, the beginning of the trail is easily accessible by bus. Departure is every morning at 7:30. It only runs once a day and the stop is near the Super Selectos supermarket.
After a 2 hour drive you get to the top of the volcano. There are various guides who want to convey to you that you absolutely need a guide for this hike, but that's not true. You can easily do them yourself and save the $3. Just follow my map the beginning is not so easy to find.
After a few hundred meters there is a hut where you still have to pay 6 dollars for the national park and then you can start.
The view and the view into the crater are really worth it, and in our place someone even sold ice cream almost at the top.

Can get very windy and rough. If necessary, take a jacket with you.

The Santa Ana volcano plays a vital role in the economic and cultural development of the region of El Salvador. On the one hand, it provides a source of agricultural activity, as the nutrient-rich volcanic soils support fertile crops. This has not only contributed to increased agricultural productivity but also to the diversification of local crops. The soils are ideal for growing coffee, fruits, and tropical vegetables, which has led to job creation and improved living standards for the local population.
