Hiking Santa Ana Volcano for Cheap! Don't Get Ripped Off 🇸🇻

We were offered a tour for hiking the Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador, but after we heard the price - we immediately tried to find another way. Watch our vlog if you're wondering how you can hike this volcano without over-paying, if you just want to know how to get there, or if you just want to see what the volcano is all about.
We hope you enjoyed this vlog and if you did, let us know in the comments below or hit the thumbs up button! :)

I love to see the reaction of the people who try something for the first time, like "jicamas." Yes, it grows on the earth like turnips or radish, but we eat it like a fruit. Thank your for those pictures of the volcano, you really took the time to appreciate everything and in detail, not so many people do that. I am glad you like my country, enjoy it.

[@nocheckinbags]

Thank you for the kind words and support! We love El Salvador and always want to promote traveling like a local

[@juancarlosvalladares1710]

Try to put subtitles in Spanish because many people in El Salvador follow them and do not speak English and thank you for visiting my country and I hope you like everything about my country thanks for everything

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes something were looking into more, we're actually thinking about dubbing our videos, currently we can't add another language audio to videos on this channel so we're thinking of making a Spanish only channel and everything will be in spanish there

[@frankysiguenza3237]

think 5 years ahead i think we can do better for everyone the change is immense for my people El Salvador is rebuilding within itself.

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes I agree, El Salvador is on the way to being the best country in Latin America

Buitifull vidio

[@Chris._P._Bacon]

2:03 those buses used to be school buses in the U.S., but when they were brought here, the owners remodified the buses so that more seats can fit in the bus thus carrying more people, I remember this back from 1986 when I used to go to middle school and I had to take the regular bus. But yeah, it's annoying and also the width of the seat is cut so short so that more people can fit in the aisle.

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes, old buses from the US, that is what everyone told us. It is a good and cheap way to get around, it can get crammed but not a big deal

[@annaprzerwa8654]

Breathtaking views. Thank you for videos Natalie and Robert, I’m impressed, can’t wait for next.

[@nocheckinbags]

Glad you like them! Next video will be in the city of Santa Ana. Thanks for watching

😂😂 the bluebird bus, bouncing and bouncing 😂😂😂

[@nocheckinbags]

Haha, sometimes it is a little rough, but fun

[@dunkan42]

@@nocheckinbags If you travel standing behind the last seat of the bus it is more fun, you jump and jump over every pothole and if you are lucky you hit your head on the top of the roof, because the driver couldn't avoid the pothole.

[@napalm74]

Hi guys! Cool video 😊👍. Jicama, it's actually a root amigos, I like to eat that with salt and chilli 🌶 😋 😂, if you eat that alone, it's sweet but very little, and sometimes almost nothing. Nice to see your videos amigos 👍

[@nocheckinbags]

We both enjoyed, something new for both of us, thanks my friend!

Gracias por tus amables palabras amigo, las cosas están mejorando mucho en El Salvador, aunque tomará más tiempo para que mejore más.

Hola Robert yo tengo el mismo problema en los buses. Ponga papel periódico en el estómago (news paper)that help.

[@nocheckinbags]

ok interesante gracias por la información

[@salvadorgiron3174]

Thanks guys for bringing such a great videos .

[@nocheckinbags]

Glad you like them! Thank you for the support

[@gugagus8617]

I was there a week ago. By all means do it without a guided tour. I got up early, walk to La Vencedora Station. it was funny beacuse the armed guard at La Vencedora was at the door, smiling and waving people over who he thought were looking for the place to take the bus to the Volcano. most of the bus riders are tourist going to the Volcano. once at the base of the Volcano the local guides are waiting for the bus to arrive, there are bathrooms and a place to eat and get coffee before the hike. The guides make sure to be back on time to take the bus back to Santa Ana. Again by all means do this on your own. a guided tour is just an unnecessary ,huge ripp off. Also the early morning walk to La Vencedora is good warm up to the hike later .

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes exactly, we always prefer to do how the locals do. Sometimes guided tours are beneficial and needed, but for things like this you can do it on your own

[@tonybits369]

NAT!! Ya just gotta take dat camera from Robert when he starts going off dimesion there sometimes!! TY ya both always enjoy your vids!! Stay blessed take care..

I am Salvadorian living in ottawa i feel afraid on the streets of ottawa Some drugs fentanyl and mariguana legalise from our primer minister the drugs i feel we need a bukele the true lider in canada

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes unfortunately lots of Canada is on the decline and getting worse. Hopefully things will turn around in Canada, as Canadian born people we don’t like to see what is going on. But Bukele has proven he is a man of the people, the country has turned around so quickly and it will only get better.

[@lidialazo9223]

I think it was around 8-9am, more like 9am I think. Definitely recommend it

[@joseramos5102]

Los guias Deben hablar inglès obligatoriamente u otros idiomas ,pa ser mejored gias

estuvo bien, para mí es bueno practicar mi español. Pero estoy de acuerdo en que sería mejor para el turismo.
