A must-do remote waterfall tour! - A must-do in el Salvador! Felt really special to jump over and climb up waterfalls in this really remote park with a super friendly local guide. The 4WD into the park was so cool and just amazing to feel like the only tourists in el imposible - don't get that many places these days! Highly recommend. El salvatours is a great company run by great people :)

BEST tour in El Salvador - My husband and I had such a great day on this tour! Everything went smoothly and exactly how it’s described in the tour details. This is definitely for people looking for adventure with a medium to high fitness level! Truly an authentic experience. We also loved learning about different plants along the way. Definitely recommend if you’re up for a little adventure!

Be prepared! - Guillermo was a fantastic guide, and Edwin was a great help. I did this hike with my wife and our physical fitness was definitely tested through the climbing, steep hiking, and swimming. We had a ton of fun, and I’m grateful we did this tour.

Really great experience - We had the most amazing experience with William and Edwin on the Hidden Waterfall Guided Tour in El Imposible National Park! From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. I was a bit concerned about my fitness level for the climb, but they went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable. They even arranged for me to have my own guide who was super supportive and helped me every step of the way. The team’s knowledge of the park's flora and fauna was impressive, and they made the entire experience both educational and fun. The hidden waterfall was absolutely breathtaking, and the whole adventure felt like something off the beaten track, which I truly loved. If you're looking for a unique adventure and want a team that genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend William and Edwin. They really made the day unforgettable!

Excellent trip - William and Edwin were excellent guides. They had a lot of knowledge and we had a lot of fun jumping into waterfall pools and rappelling up a cascade. Felt safe and looked after yet it was a sense of adventure

An amazing experience - We had the most amazing experience doing the Hidden Waterfalls tour with William Uno. You will never met a kinder, more enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. If you are fit and agile, this tour will be the highlight of your trip to El Salvador.

BEST EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH AMERICA! - We did this tour privately with our family of 4 (2 teens) in March. We are frequent travelers and prefer more “off the beaten path” experiences and locations. This experience was probably the most unique and best we have ever had!!! It was so special that I am very conflicted about making a public review and bringing attention to this hidden slice of paradise as I fear it will become exploited and ruined. The guides are incredibly friendly & knowledgeable locals who made the voyage educational and enjoyable for all. This is their “backyard” so they knew every place to stop, play, eat & rest. They helped us navigate the steep and rocky terrain safely and made the track through the jungle an exhilarating experience, to say the least! We were also very impressed that while we were enjoying the swimming holes, they took out garbage bags and filled them with trash that the locals had left behind at the most popular waterfall. The only word of caution is that the full tour we did could be considered very strenuous and over very rocky and steep terrain. We rappelled up waterfalls and climbed up cliffs with very minimal safety gear. The hikes were also very steep both up & downhill. We are a family that is in great shape and able to navigate most challenging terrains. I do trust that the guides alter the tours based on ability, age & experience!!! Just an FYI. ;) In sum, if you’re looking for the most unique experience in all of South America, THIS IS IT! Worth every penny & more!

Opodo crook - Upon entering the boarding counter, we were informed that our names were not registered on the passenger list. No solution was provided by Opodo or Lufthansa Air Co. We lost the hotel reservation 3500 € + the parking at the airport not counting the toll fees... and the icing on the cake 10 days of lost holidays... To flee and do not recommend!!!!!
