San Vicente Norte

Apastepeque Lake provides entertainment, stunning natural scenery, and a peaceful oasis in San Vicente.

In the Nahuat language, Apastepeque means "Mountain of Large Pots" or "Mountain of Alabaster," as it sits on a volcanic crater. The vegetation surrounding the lake is subtropical forest that transitions into tropical jungle, creating an ideal setting for outdoor adventures.

Laguna de Apastepeque ranks among El Salvador's premier wildlife areas. Visitors here can take a boat ride, enjoy local cuisine at diverse restaurants along the shoreline, or take a relaxing swim in the lake.
