RELAXING ON THE LAKE
Within just 35 minutes from the capital, you will be able to see, experience the "Lago Coatepeque." Lago Coatepeque is considered to be the next natural wonder of the world. It all started thousands years ago, from a volcano that existed before in the Department called Santa Ana. Later, the volcano disappeared, leaving the crate as the only evidence there was left. On top of this crate, a lake was formed, also known as Lago Coatepeque. After few hundred years have passed, there was a tiny eruption on this crate, creating an island in the middle of the lake what it is also known as "La Isla de Coatepeque"(Coatepeque Island). Lago Coatepeque is above a crate that once it was a volcano years ago.
With only 6 kms wide and 120 meters deep and surrounded by a steep green slopes rising up 250 to 500 meters; makes the Lake Coatepeque seen as surrounded by many volcanoes. Along the shore of the lake there are several private houses with their own kind of port called "El Muelle." Whether a Salvadorian or a turist, Lake Coatepeque is a popular place for spending a get-a-way weekend. There are also hotels accommodations for visitors whether turists or Salvadorian itself, Hotel Torremolinos offers lodging, a restaurant and they rent watersports equipment. Other option would be, Hotel Amacuilco because has an art center worth checking out and it is a popular spot for younger teenagers such as turists and residents.

This trip to the Lake Coatepeque is a "must trip" between my friends and family each time I come back to home. Either is only with friends or family or both, either way I can assure you that your experience and time will be worth BIG times. There has been every trip to the Lake since 2005. Meaning that , there has been at least 2 trips each year.

ReplyDeleteCoatepeque Lake is definitely on the way to become a World Wonder. I also like the fact that you posted some pictures of yourself having fun at the lake. I really miss going there with my friends and doing all these water sport activities that you can chose from. El Salvador is an amazing place, and this is just a small glance of what our beautiful country has to offer.
