Hiking Santa Ana Volcano + Lake Coatepeque 🇸🇻 Backpacking El Salvador Travel Vlog

[@hahau629]

Not an easy hike up the volcano but very well worth the effort. There is a glasshouse lookout restaurant near the trail parking area, its aprox 1mile away on the main road. The food and drinks are outstanding there, as is the view to lake coatepeque! A trip to the Tazumal ruins is also a must.

[@elvisaguirre-castro9628]

Remember coatepeque,thank you for visiting my beautiful litle country,hope you guys enjoy it

[@hikecamptrekk1540]

9:11 oh my gosh is true 😮 one of my friends told me that he bought one Patagonia Nano Puff Down Jacket in El Salvador 🇸🇻 and he just paid $ 4 American dollars. Many Salvadorans send expensive jackets from the states to their relatives but because of the weather Salvadorans don’t wear down and they don’t know much about those brands

[@Twan_01]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. 😄 love your style of video. Very calm and engaging. ❤

[@oscarcoca7544]

Welcome to our country guys,enjoy your vacation

[@hikecamptrekk1540]

Great 👏👏👏you are an open minded person . Welcome to El Salvador 🇸🇻

[@Adonkehx3]

Hi! I’m new to your channel! I was born in El Salvador but live in the states. I hope you get to explore Ataco and Apaneca! Especially Apaneca. There are buggy rides up to a hidden lagoon, incredible food, an adventure park/labyrinth, and more!

[@davidyanes2447]

Bienvenida a nuestro país El Salvador y a nuestra ciudad de Santa Ana 🇸🇻💙🤗

[@ilsegubbels9845]

El Salvador was my last destination before Covid hit. Just got home a couple of weeks before. Went to Santa Ana (stayed in Casa Verde which had a 7 bed dorm at time) and loved every minute of it! Also did the Flower route which was gorgeous ❤

[@MillaExplores]

Santa Ana sounds so nice! I'd love to do the volcano hike as well, it looked amazing. 🤩

[@wilsonlara4728]

Vitite to el salvador used aslo 😊👍

[@maschahelena]

Loved the vid again Christianne! Thanks for sharing, giving me all the travel feels while trying my first 9-5 office job haha! You might just convince me to get back to travelling ❤

[@anli9730]

Hi, I am from El Salvador. I was just there ober Easter 2024. My family tells me that there is SO much to do and see there esp if you venture inland away from the coast. So it makes sense you feel like there isn't enough time to see and do it all. Enjoy! You've seen more of the country than many of us Salvadoreans have!

[@teetsmcgeets14]

I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy Lago Coatepeque to its true potential, its rare for it to have all that algae. Also for a few weeks during the year it'll turn turquoise due to some unknown reasons. It's currently being voted in to become one of the natural wonders of the world. Its my favourite place in all ES. -A Canadian

[@leslieargueta]

Welcome to my small country! 💖Hope you have a great time here, Christianne!

[@CurtisLane-x3k]

Great video and makes me want to go. I just hiked Acatenango in Guatemala, and it was absolutely amazing. We camped on the mountain, and could see Fuego erupt, spewing ash , and lava throughout the day and night.

[@seandesmond5560]

Great vlog wonderful Christie!!! 💖 The area had the hike looked amazing!!!

Loving the Series Backpacking. Hard to choose between this one and the Thailand one as my favourite. Thailand may just edge it, but both great regardless. Sad to see if end soon. Best wishes. 👍

[@janehughes581]

Your hostel looks nice! We stayed at Casa Verde which is good too. At the Volcano hike we had to pay for a guide but she disappeared! Our group was very large so I suspect that they didn't all make it to the top and she went back down with them! It was insanely windy at the top for us - gusting at maybe 100kmph. We had to hold on to the posts to take photos of the caldera. If you liked the volcano pool I recommend going to Yellowstone where they probably have the most famous caldera in the world!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Woah that sounds hectic!

[@ChelseaAddams]

Oh I stayed at that hostel in Santa Ana! Feels so weird to see it on your vlog haha, I really liked that hostel and the whole Santa Ana area!!

[@morgan3llis001]

bummer Coatepeque looked like that while you were there! it was beautiful when i was there and i jumped off capt morgans deck many times!

[@flowerviolet6331]

Beautiful paradise❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sebastianlaurenthasbun]

so you were able to go to the border city of Ahuachapán to the hot springs with incredible weather and very colonial and incredible central streets and parks?? It is also true that the towns of that city are very beautiful cobblestone streets and picturesque murals Also the coffee from that area is the best of high quality

[@BackpackingBananas]

We go through there in the next vlog 😊

[@billmccaleb7481]

Another fun time and destination! Math...? just teasing. I was very disappointed that there were no back flips, but I definitely understand why! I did guess pasta. Do I win a prize? I'm looking forward to the other videos!

[@BackpackingBananas]

So cool hey

[@Tips4_Trips]

Wow. Amazing video 😍

[@jeffreymore6799]

Okay I realize your videos can be weeks behind the actual dates, but I noticed the plastic snowmen at the garden 😂. That just made me smile that here I sit with temperatures minus 38 degrees Celsius with up to 5 feet of snow at times and they are putting out plastic snowmen. The volcano view was amazing and the smoke was what Americans call steam. Thanks Cristianne

[@TheFairestMan]

Enjoy..

[@delmimartinez5752]

Seven dollars for Night is good Prize A lake to visit El Salvador me gusta 😊

[@kesh1325]

Hi Christianne! I'm binge watching your videos bcs in may it's my first time traveling solo thru central america! i'm kinda nervous about making friends in the hostel. Does that just happen? Do you just come to the common area and say hi to people?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Pretty much 😊 or just make natural conversation. Don’t worry, it will feel natural when you’re there!

[@MattNav]

Another cracking job Christianne 👍🏻😎 Never really paid much attention to El Salvador before actually 🙈 Shame on me lol 😂

[@BackpackingBananas]

It’s a country that is totally slept on by most!

[@kennethbropson8019]

Just curious - what do you do with your expensive gear - computer/drone/cameras etc when you're not in your hostel room? I assume most don't have safes?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Pretty much every hostel does have lockers ☺️

Christine, first comment !

[@anli9730]

For anyone watching, as of April 2024 Lake Coatepeque is under a state of emergency due to a micro algae bloom that is contaminating the local fishery. It's not clear if people can still swim in it, but I would probably avoid swimming in it until they determine the toxicity levels to humans. There isn't much English media on this but you will find it in the local Spanish media.

You guys went to the wrong place for Cuatepeque Lake there is better places where you can jump in to the water.

[@michaeldunbar6942]

This is comparable to your Thailand videos, especially regarding the one when you had a bad neck/shoulder in Chiang Rai. You bravely continued on your schedule at that time. . Comments then included the mention of “Backpacking Melons”. Certainly the case in this video :) Well done

[@jsema100]

Backpacking Bananas... Do you recommend traveling to ES???.. US government tells me i should not go.. :(

Its outstanding. Gone 2x since the gang crackdown. Absolutely safe and peaceful ! The US govmt is hating on this amazing Salvadoran President.

What's with the "americanize" They are food from many countries in el salvador. In fact we are truly meso-american

[@anli9730]

I agree. I really cringe when people say this. It is El Salvador. Each country has it's vibe. Why compare it to the U.S.? What do people expect it to be like, I wonder? A hole in the dirt? It just sounds very belittling.
