Parque Nacional El Imposible

A nice opportunity to enjoy nature. Hire a guide to make the best of your experience and support locals at the same time... and take a picture at the top of the little rock!

First thing's first: OPEN 7 days a week, 8am - 5pm. Get there by 3 if you want to do the little hike Guides are available & mandatory, please tip them well as they do NOT get a salary 😭 Getting there: Have a car? It'll take you an hour from the highway junction, as the road is an absolute disaster, but doable (rented a Kia Picanto). No car? Buses or trucks from Cara Sucia, be there for 9am to try to catch one of them. Now, the hikes are amazing and we did a 5 hour one with multiple lookouts and a swimming area. Totally worth it, visit as it's a gem in ES

A beautiful park to visit, amazing views, walks trails with great areas to explore, falls

Be ready to drive almost an hour in a dirt road, but if you love hiking camping, it is worth it!!

Went on one of the most thrilling and beautiful hikes here, jumping waterfalls, enjoying the scenery and fresh air

The access road is terrible but the park well maintained. Guides available on arrival( Spanish only)

This place is amazing! You can spend the whole day inside this forest and you wouldn’t get bored, rivers with so clear and cold water, fishes, the perfect place for breath and forget the traffic of San Salvador!

The road there goes from south east (some 5 km east of Cara Sucia village). After that it's about 13 km of mostly unpaved road. As of today it's in semi-decent condition - passable in a sedan car but caution si required. Took us about 45 minutes to get there. After that you'll reach a visitor center where you'll pay the entry fee (6 USD + 1 USD for car). Once that's out of the way you can visit the forest. I'm not sure if you have to hire a guide or not. When we got there there were no guides there so the man who sold us the tickets let us in by ourselves. We made a small loop of about 3 or 4 km (through El Mulo viewpoint and one another). However inside the forest signs are quite scarce and there is no usable map at the visitor center so a good orientation sense is necessary. Overall not the easiest place to find and get around.
