The region offers amazing views of mountains and volcanoes, offering crafts, coffee tours, charming towns, markets, and adventure options. Today we will visit a coffee plantation, where during coffee season (Dec - Mar), you will be able to collect coffee along with the locals. After this experience, a guided tour will explain each step of the coffee process at the “beneficio” (mill). Then, we will visit the towns of Flower Route.
After local lunch, free afternoon or optional tours: travelers will be able to enjoy adventure options such as horseback riding, mountain bike, ATV tour, or a zip line tour.

DAY 3: VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK – JOYA DE CERÉN - SUCHITOTO (B, L)
Today we will visit Volcanoes National Park a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve , where three amazing volcanoes (Izalco Volcano, Santa Ana Volcano and Cerro Verde) embrace beautiful Coatepeque Lake which fills a crater of another volcano. Izalco Volcano is one of the youngest volcanoes in America given that it was born in the 1700's, whereas Santa Ana Volcano is thousands of years old. Izalco Volcano was known as the “Lighthouse of the Pacific” since its lava guided the ships on the Pacific Ocean Coast. No lava is currently flowing, but both volcanoes are still active since constant fumaroles are present. In Cerro Verde, located in the middle of the other two volcanoes, we will walk around its extinct crater providing breathtaking views of Izalco and Santa Ana Volcanoes and Coatepeque Lake. Local lunch.
Then we will continue to El Salvador´s main archaeological site. Joya de Cerén was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993, and it is known as the “Pompeii of the Americas”. This agricultural community was buried by the ashes of Volcano Caldera back in 600 AD. Thanks to the excellent preservation, this site allows us to witness the everyday lives of the Mesoamerican agricultures of such time period. There is also a comprehensive museum on site. In the museum, you will witness the oldest cacao seeds known in the world.
