TRIPS

HIKE AN ACTIVE VOLCANO

Volcan llamatatepec is the tallest of the 21 volcanoes in El Salvador at 7,850 feet. Towering above Lago Coatepque, the summit provides stunning vistas into the sulfuring baths of the volcano’s caldera and the neighboring turquoise lake. A guided hike takes approximately 1.5 hours to ascend the summit and an hour to return to camp. Leave from Mizata at 9 am and return around 4 pm. This adventure can be paired with an additional morning and afternoon activity.

EXPLORE TAMANIQUE WATERFALLS

The Colonial Era Tamanique Village sits at 600 meters above sea level. Once arriving in town our guide will take you on a 30-minute hike into the jungle until arriving at the cascading waterfalls of Tamanique. There are three main waterfalls that are connected through a series of trails. Filled with adventure – swim, boulder, cliff jump or just relax and enjoy the views. This is a half-day adventure that can easily be paired with a morning surf session or horseback riding.

DISCOVER THE MAYAN RUINS

Joya De Ceren – An UNESCO World Heritage site, often compared to Pompei, in Italy, is a unique archeological gem. The unearthed ancient village is an unbelievable portal into a Mayan farming village. Discover the remains of 70 buildings and artifacts from 200AD. Can be paired morning and afternoon activities.

Tazumal – Spanning 6 square miles, Tazumal consists of pyramids, tombs, workshops and a complex drainage system that was occupied for nearly a 1,000 years, before being abandoned sometime around 1200AD. Can be paired morning and afternoon activities.

RUTA DE LAS FLORES

Hidden along the Apaneca hills, Ruta de las Flores is a group of colonial mountainside villages that all offer indigenous charm, night markets, traditional restaurants and artisan crafts. The climate of this area is colder than anywhere else in the country – allowing the perfect conditions for the cultivation of coffee. Visit the stunning local markets, try a handful of delicious restaurants, learn about El Salvador’s history and taste organically grown, local coffee as you make your way through Ruta de las Flores.

SURF

PARADISE FOUND

Mizata enjoys waves when all other breaks are flat, with 340 days of swell each year. There are five Surf Breaks within walking distance and a beginner surf break just five minutes down the beach. If you are looking for the most consistent and uncrowded wave in El Salvador. This is it.

THE BREAKS

SIX LEGENDARY BREAKS

MIZATA POINT

This powerful right hander sits at the mouth of the river. Surfable from waist high to well overhead. Best at low to medium tides, with mild reverb during high tide. Fast punchy drops, with large open faces that go for 200 meters. Get covered up on larger days with short barrel sections. Avoid the tempting left as it dumps into shallow rocks at low tide. In front of the resort.

A-FRAME

One of the few sick left breaks in El Salvador, Tweeners, is an epic rock bottom A-Frame that peels both ways. It works well at Medium and High Tide and holds size, with fun barrel sections during overhead swell. In front of the resort.

BEACH BREAKS

Thumping beach breaks work well during high tide with overhead barrel sections, rights and lefts. Take caution at low tide to avoid exposed rocks and a mild rip. 2 minute walk from resort.

THE SLAB

A shallow reef break that requires larger swell over 6 feet. A technical wave for experienced surfers that want to get pitted. 5 minute walk from resort.

EL DORADO BEACH

Mellow beach break, perfect for beginner surfers. Also, the location for surf school and surf camp. 5 Minute drive from the resort.

UNTOUCHED BREAKS

For adventurous surfers interested in surfing with no crowd, we provide boat service to untouched waves.

THE QUIVER

Traveling with surfboards sucks. So often they show up broken or not at all. At a minimum, it is expensive and leaves you at a new surf break with limited board options. There is a better way! We have partnered with Lost Surfboards to provide you access to the sickest quiver of surfboards imaginable. This is the perfect opportunity to try a multitude of boards on a variety of waves. You will be amazed to discover how you perform on different shapes. Plus find a board you like and Lost will custom make and ship to you!
