Cerro Verde, Volcanic mountain in Santa Ana Department, El Salvador
Cerro Verde rises 2030 meters above sea level, forming part of a chain with Santa Ana and Izalco volcanoes within a national park area.
The volcanic formation ceased activity 2500 years ago, leaving behind a mountain structure that shapes the current geological landscape of western El Salvador.
Local communities maintain connections to the mountain through traditional practices and environmental education programs focused on natural preservation.
Visitors require sturdy walking shoes and water supplies when exploring the mountain trails, which remain open during daylight hours throughout the year.
The summit contains a cloud forest ecosystem where specific plant species thrive in the constant moisture from low-hanging clouds.
