Our first four nights are based in El Zonte, with surf lessons, a guided hike to Tamanique’s waterfalls, a spring swim, and a Salvadoran cooking experience filling our days. Local surf instructors will help you catch your first wave or build on what you already know, and we’ll head inland to hike and swim beneath the waterfalls. At the springs, you can cool off while tiny fish gather around your feet for a rather ticklish version of a pedicure. We’ll also join a local family to learn to make pupusas, with time between outings for an ocean swim or a drink by the pool.

From the coast, we’ll travel to Lake Coatepeque for two nights before tackling Santa Ana Volcano with local guides. It’s a week of getting outside, trying things, and exploring El Salvador with Julia and a group of women who came for the same reasons.

Come on your own or bring a friend; we’ll take care of the itinerary.
