Gorgeous Central American Destinations That Won’t Break the Bank
14. Hike the Active Volcanoes of El Salvador

El Salvador may be Central America’s most underrated travel destination, but it offers some of the best volcano hikes in the region. Santa Ana Volcano, the highest in the country, boasts a jaw-dropping emerald-green crater lake, while Izalco Volcano, once known as the “Lighthouse of the Pacific,” provides a challenging yet rewarding trek. The Ruta de Las Flores, a scenic route through picturesque villages and waterfalls, adds even more charm to the experience—all at an incredibly low cost.
