One of my fav things to do in El Salvador (besides the beach) is take a day trip to Santa Ana Volcano. It’s a moderate hike to the top. But once you get there it’s amazing! The volcano has the prettiest blue-green color inside, due to the microorganisms that can live in the thermal conditions. Th

This lake use to be a volcano. All of El Salvador has 36 active volcanoes. Sheeeesh! But anyways the place was cool. There’s a lot of places to visit and eat around. We went to this hotel where we got a day pass for $6! Good deal and then we got a boat ride from them. You can do 30mins or an hour.

#travel2025 #lemon8challenge Staying in this resort was such a dream. I remember watching the TikTok before my trip and trying to decide on my first location and I fell in love with this place. A small boutique hotel but it was great. Driving to get there was also an experience on its own.

400ft Inside a Volcano in Iceland 🌋😱
This is the only place in the world where you can actually go inside a real volcano 🌋🇮🇸 Only in Iceland. The tour is $500 pp, you get 30 minutes to explore the inside of the magma chamber, and it takes about 7 minutes to descend to the bottom. It’s one of the craziest experiences I’ve ever done.
