Lake Coatepeque, El Salvador
You probably won't be shocked to find that Lake Coatepeque is volcanic in nature, like so many other lakes in Central America. This lake in El Salvador was created by a large volcanic eruption that occurred about 50,000 years ago. Following the explosion, the crater gradually filled with precipitation, creating one stunning lake.
Today, Lake Coatepeque is a posh holiday spot with beachfront hotels, opulent vacation homes, and a ton of delicious restaurants dishing up fresh fish and stuffed tortillas. The area's sumptuous atmosphere is further enhanced by some naturally heated hot springs that are close by.
There are a few hotels on the lake's shore, but the area is very quiet. The majority of visitors are local tourists who come on the weekends, so you'll often find it to be very quiet and private. It's a great place for a couple or large groups. In the lake, you can engage in various activities like kayaking, boat trips, diving, jetskiing, and SUP.
The National Park of Cerro Verde is located next to the lake and is a natural region surrounded by coffee plantations. On the mountain's summit, which was once a volcano, there are various climbing trails from which you can access daily trekking trips to the tops of Izalco and Santa Ana volcanoes.
