“We had an amazing 2 days with Jorge. Climbed Santa Ana volcano first day and then went swimming in Lake Coatepeque in the afternoon then day 2 the waterfall hike. We got to climb a few waterfalls and swim in natural pools. […] At all times Jorge looked after us brilliantly […] He even let us use his family house to shower after the waterfalls. Can highly recommend thank you so much!! We will come back”
“We had a great time exploring El Salvador with Surf Side Tours! We were taken out on 4 different days that were each a very unique and enjoyable experience.
Day 1: A hike to some amazing waterfalls where we were able to swim and jump off tall rocks into the refreshing pools below.
Day 2: A fun and breathtaking hike up to the top of the Santa Ana volcano.
Day 3: A day out on the Pacific Ocean fishing.
Day 4: A drive along Ruta de La Flores. We stopped at several towns along the way that had great shopping, eating and drinking options. […]
Thank you so much Jorge for making our time in El Salvador unforgettable!!!”
