San Ignacio: Chalatenango Norte
Seeking El Salvador's highest peak? Then make your way up El Pital mountain, an idyllic site dominated by cool-climate vegetation ideal for ecotourism enthusiasts.
Activities here include camping, wildlife observation, and hiking on a varied trail network. The camping area nestles between two mountain peaks, creating a breezy valley with a pleasant mountain mist.
The 5-kilometer journey to the camping area becomes an adventure through the natural forest environment. Along the way, you'll enjoy views of vegetable farms, pine forests, and beautiful flower-filled landscapes. Crystal-clear mountain streams provide another beautiful highlight on the way up El Pital.
If you prefer not to hike in, locals also offer transportation services.
