Absolutely recommended - I did the field trip with Carlos. A very qualified guide, we made it alone and super enjoyable. A lot of knowledge, a lot of knowing how to be, draws and psychology. He gave me how many explanations I asked for and that I am very heavy lol. If you go to San Salvador this is your excursion and this is your guide. I'd repeat a thousand times.
