COATEPEQUE LAKE




Coatepeque is a volcanic lake situated about an hour from San Salvador. It is much older than Ilopango, though created by a similar catastrophic eruption some five to six thousand years ago. Named Lago de Coatepeque, it is on the eastern slope of the Santa Ana volcano. It is a beautiful, clean, and sparkling blue crater-shaped lake, 6 kms wide and 120 meters deep and surrounded by steep green slopes rising up 250 to 500 meters. The scenic road between the Interamerican Highway and CA8, known as the "panoramic highway" for its marvelous views, curls along the steep ridge of the crater giving you glimpses of the broad fertile valleys on one side and the lake on the other.
If you would like to practice scuba diving during the winter season this lake is your best option! into this crater with lots of water life you can see Catfish, Guapote, Zebra fish, etc.
There are several restaurants and hostels as well. Also, you cannot miss the wonderful view of the king's castle....

  8. If you don’t enjoy drunks walking into your dorm room, and loud music late in the evening stay away from hostels with bars.
