About Santa Ana for Solo Travelers
El Salvador's second city and the launch point for a spectacular volcanic crater lake hike — solo travelers find Santa Ana a genuine, un-touristy Salvadoran city with a magnificent theatre.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Santa Ana is El Salvador's second city and the base for Santa Ana Volcano (the country's highest and most rewarding hike — the crater lake is spectacular). The Guatemalan border at Las Chinamas is nearby for easy country-hopping. The city is safe in the centre; the Parque Libertad and the gorgeous Teatro Nacional are excellent solo stops. Solo guides are recommended for the volcano hike.
