Well let me start by saying! Holy cow! This place is so underrated and is super beautiful I’ve never seen a lake in my life with turquoise water! Like legit! You guys in El Salvador during May - July check this place out! Their water changes colors for reasons I’ve not found on google lol

Once in a while color of the lake changes to turquoise blue like the pics below. Take a bus 202 and get off before the bus goes all the way down because the view from a high place is much better. You can find the good view spot if you look for one for a little bit.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful lake, I recommend that you visit it. (Original) Un lago muy bonito, lo recomiendo que lo visiten.

(Translated by Google) It is an artificial lake, it has a length of 45 km and a width of 10 km. It was formed after the creation of the Cerrón Grande Hydroelectric Plant, in the course of the Lempa River. It offers tourists multiple options for recreation. The waters of this lake are an excellent place for those who like to fish, watch birds or wish to go by boat or kayak among the nymphs and herons that adorn the landscape and in certain months of the year we see migratory birds that rest in this place before continue with your flight to South America. In addition, you can travel on the ferry "La Luna" which has the capacity to transport 4 vehicles and up to 100 people, it is also the only means of transport to cross vehicles from one part of the lake to another to shorten distances of several kilometers via land.

Además, se puede viajar en el ferry "La Luna" que tiene capacidad de transportar 4 vehículos y hasta 100 personas, es además el único medio de transporte que hay para cruzar vehículos de una parte del lago a otra para acortar distancias de varios kilómetros vía terrestre.

Amazing experience..... water sports.... great restaurants....great place to visit

Nice lake but so much is shut off to private ownership and commercialized so limited public access or nice open nature spots to enjoy which is a shame as the lake its self is beautiful

Great Lake. We enjoy an afternoon jet skiing with family members in the lake.

Beautiful place, warm water, plenty of restaurants. The food is very cheap . Also the beers

A must see! Beautiful views all around.

most of the coast is private, people have access to some small piece only(( shame

Stunning volcanic lake with plenty of activities to do. The problem I found was that most lakefront properties are private. Check a hotel and hire kayaks/equipment and spend the day(s) there. Sunsets at the lake are also really beautiful…

It is a massive crater lake, the water is very blue, and it’s a site to just watch and appreciate its view

Love this peaceful and beautiful place, food everywhere, nice y amazing touch

This place is so underrated! Actually, El Salvador as a whole is very much underrated. It’s absolutely stunning! I was mesmerized by its beauty! The views from above are just as breathtaking as well, but go down to the lake for the full experience!

Great lake! It's a pitty most of the access to the shore is privately owned

Relaxing and peaceful, I recommend going in the afternoon when it’s not too hot

Nice lake to spend time with the family. Lago Coatepeque. Take the ferry from restaurant to see a great view from the lake.. El Farro restaurante

Absolutely beautiful. Great area, jet ski rental boat rides restaurants.

Beautiful lake, stunning really. Just a shame it's full of restaurants full of tourists. Would have been nice to have more area for public access. The road down is narrow and the traffic can get busy.

This lake is beautiful! Just find the perfect location to watch the colors of the sky change during sunset… Take one of the boat tours too!

Ich habe einen Insider-Tipp: Buche dir ein kleines Motorboot und fahre zur Insel Teopan. Auf der Höhe des Hotel Isla Teopan, rechte Hand am Ufer, ist eine kleine Bucht. Dort gibt es eine kochende Wasserquelle, die vom Vulkan Santa Ana kommt. Mit genügend Abstand gibt es ein wunderschönes Fußbad. Für verbrannte Füße und Hände übernehme ich keine Haftung. :)

Excellent place to spend a family day !

Beautiful lake, seems like it's private. We drove around for ages trying to get to the shore but never found it!

We went for a boat tour around the shore of the lake on a pontoon boat on new year's eve. The place was very quiet as most businesses were closed. It was really nice as there were not a lot of people or boats cruising around. The slide from the boat was fun and the water was beautiful. Would recommend a visit.

Beautiful lake to rest and eat...

Beautiful lake. Had an awesome time.

Amazing another place to visit while in El Salvador 🇸🇻 Lots of restaurant, you can swim, also some of the restaurants has pools for kids inside the lake, there are boats that take you around the lake or just sit and relax in one of the restaurants.

Beautiful

Volcanic lake, one of the most beautiful natural places of the country.

Amazing place to spend time with friends and family

One of the best places to visit to

Breathtakingly beautiful!

8th wonder of the world! Definitely worth a trip there if you visit El Salvador. A must-do!

This place is beautiful I was there last month right at the peak of the color change, good restaurant and the people is so friendly Las 8 maravillas is a very nice restaurant with good views

Absolutely beautiful place, so much to do in the area, zip lining, four wheeler rentals, swimming, and much much more. I LOVED IT !!!

The view is stunning, there are several water activities you can do here, and there are also rentals available.

Lake itself is a beautiful landscape. But there's no road around it to hike. It's full of restaurants and accommodations. However you can go for a boat ride, kayak, jet ski, swimming, jump in the water. But 220 and 242 from Santa Ana comes to the lake.
