The Great Sentinel of the Eastern region: the majestic San Miguel volcano (or Chaparrastique). This impressive strato volcano registered the last eruption in El Salvador on 2013. Since then it has been smoking and under constant monitoring by volcanologists.

This is a challenging hike due the steep slope, specially the last section, near the crater, with very loose soil. From the rim of the crater you can still see smoke coming from the bottom.
One last reminder: Yes. It’s strenuous!
