Caminata en cascada El guía turístico era increíble! Fue un tour muy informativo y divertido. El salto al acantilado fue muy divertido también. Sin duda recomendaría a cualquiera que viaje en El Salvador.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Turismo local en su mejor momento Fantástica agencia de turismo de propiedad local y un tour muy informativo de San Salvador. Salva es un excelente guía turístico, muy apasionado por la cultura, la historia y la cocina de su país. Ojalá tuviéramos más tiempo para participar en sus otros tours como Ruta de flores o la popular clase de hacer pupusa. También ofrecen clases de español, y varios proyectos comunitarios están en preparación - permanezca atento. Muy recomendable. De eso se trata el turismo sostenible.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

¡Caminata Volcán! Me levanté temprano para superar el trabajo de carretera, el tráfico de la ciudad y otras personas que quieren escalar el volcán. Las vistas eran preciosas. Nuestro guía Salva era genial y paciente con nosotros excursionistas más lentos. Tenía razón en llevarnos a la montaña temprano a medida que avanzaba el día, el número de excursionistas en la montaña también lo hizo. ¡Levántate temprano! ¡No te arrepentirás!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Tour de San Salvador Ir de gira por San Salvador fue pintoresco y sin duda vale la pena el medio día. Lo más impresionante fue la lección de historia que recibimos y aprender lo que la gente del país ha pasado en el último siglo. El tour terminó con una parada para almorzar en un bonito restaurante con vistas a la ciudad.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Cataratas del Taminique El tour a Tamanique fue una de mis experiencias favoritas en mis vacaciones. La cascada principal y la piscina es impresionante y tan refrescante para nadar después de la caminata hacia abajo. Decidí no saltar en las cataratas, pero aún así me lo pasé genial. Mateo, el guía, fue súper genial y genial para hablar sobre la historia de El SalvadorPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

El mejor viaje en El Salvador Fue uno de los mejores viajes en mi vida! El guía turístico Salva literalmente me alegró el día. Proporcionó un tour súper interesante, visitamos un montón de lugares, tuvimos degustación de café, comida callejera caminando, y tobogán arco iris. También Salva es un fotógrafo increíble, así que me sacó un montón de fotos, porque viajo solo y es mi principal dolor jaja 😁Así que si quieres enamorarte del país y sumergirte en la cultura local, este tour es exactamente lo que estás buscando! No lo pienses, solo tienes que reservarlo y lo recordarás toda tu vida 🔥😍❤️🔥Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Muy recomendable Gran tour, guía era muy conocedor y entretenido. El volcán es hermoso y vale la pena la caminata (aproximadamente 3 horas en total).Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Santa Ana Volcano Hike Reservé fácilmente este tour en línea, con dos días de anticipación. Los organizadores de la gira fueron muy comunicativos. La caminata en sí no fue demasiado difícil para mí y rara vez hago ejercicio. Ojalá pudiéramos haber pasado un poco más de tiempo en la cima del volcán. Use zapatos de senderismo para evitar resbalones y caídas. El restaurante tenía una hermosa vista del lago del cráter. Yo diría que vale la pena el viaje y me sentí segura como una viajera sola.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Majestic Falls Las vistas son increíbles. Las cascadas son impresionantes. La caminata hacia abajo fue bastante fácil porque vas a bajar, pero bastante difícil volver a subir debido a la rápida inclinación y humedad. Nuestro guía Salva estaba muy bien informado y conoce el sendero como si fuera su propio patio trasero. Sabe exactamente dónde pisar y qué rocas resbaladizas evitar, etc. Él te guía alrededor de las cataratas rocosas individualmente por seguridad. Tiene una personalidad acogedora y hablaba muy buen inglés. Recomienda esta caminata, pero debes estar físicamente en forma para completarla.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

¡Día increíble! Fuimos en el tour por la ciudad de San Salvador y visita al Volcán Boquerón. Mateo era nuestro guía y José el conductor. Fue un día increíble para aprender sobre este hermoso país. La historia es fascinante e inspiradora al ver cómo el país evoluciona hacia sí mismo. El futuro es brillante y se puede ver / sentir a través de su gente. Mateo era una guía increíble - solo la combinación correcta de información y nos permite tomar en los sitios para nosotros mismos. Me sentí muy seguro y cómodo caminando por la ciudad a los diferentes sitios... Fue más como estar fuera con un amigo por el día. Sin duda recomendaría El Salvador a cualquiera y la agencia de viajes Tunco Life también para cualquier aventura que pueda querer! 😎🇸🇻

We were super lucky to have booked our transport from the airport to Tunco through Tunco Life. I say lucky because not only were we picked up in a great van and on time (even though our flight was delayed 2 hours and consequently we arrived late), but our driver Salva ended up helping us arrange several awesome excursions over the duration of our stay. For our second day we opted for the Tamanique Falls hike with tour Guide Chamba, who was also awesome and down to make the day as adventurous as possible! I would 100p recommend heading to the falls, and doing so with Tunco Life as their guides are very very friendly and knowledgeable about the falls and the overall area / culture. The falls were beautiful and the opportunity to do some jumps into the water was a huge added bonus. To round out our trip, we also took a tour of San Salvador, then were dropped off at the airport. This was great too as there is so much history surrounding the city, and the guides were very knowledgeable and informative on all topics and we were able to hit all the best spots. While Salva and Chamba were our guides for several excursions, it felt more that we were friends as they were also welcoming around town in bars / restaurants, very open to conversation about all things El Salvador, inviting, and very happy to share their culture and beautiful Tunco with our group. Thanks again for the making our trip to El Salvador so great!Posted on Google![]()

I went on the Tamanique waterfall tour and the Santa Ana vulcano tour with Tunco life, and it was the best experiences I have had here in El Salvador for sure! Chamba and Salva are both amazing and made the tour really fun and a nice adventure. They took care of everything and had a lot of good information! I highly recommend Tunco life, and will definitely go on more tours with themPosted on Google![]()

My wife and I did the “Ruta de las Flores” tour with Salva as our guide. Nothing but good things to say about Salva and Tunco life. Booked a few days ahead online, the day-of communication was great, salva reached out via whatsapp when they were 30 minutes then 5 minutes out from our hotel pick up. Very knowledgeable all throughout the tour, giving lots of history and fun facts about El Salvador. I asked for a few restaurant recommendations and he provided us with a whole list of top places to try. He also put us in contact with another guide to take us on the Santa Ana volcano hike the next day as Tunco life wasn’t scheduled to go that day. Over all great experience, very helpful and knowledgeable and funny. Also if needed- his English is great, but he’s also very patient if you want to practice your Spanish with him.Posted on Google![]()

We had a great time with Salva and Tunco Life tours!! First we had arranged transportation to and from airport to El Tunco, which was very smooth and timely! And then we did the Santa Ana volcano hike with Salva, which was awesome! He was a great guide and it was so cool to see the volcanos! And then Salva also was able to put us in touch with a fisherman to take us out the next morning on a private boat and we were able to catch Bonita and Spanish mackerel which were then cooked for dinner! Highly recommend Tunco Life!!Posted on Google![]()

Tunco Life and Chamba were amazing!! Super easy to coordinate plans, they were flexible with our schedule and communicated everything ahead of time. Our hike was fun, guides were easy to talk to and friendly. Had a better time than we could’ve even imagined. Chamba was super professional, but also really fun to be around, he even helped our friend get her phone back from a local restaurant after it was lost!! Definitely book with Tunco Life, you won’t regret it!!Posted on Google![]()

My husband and I came to El Salvador to explore more of his Salvadoran roots. We booked Tunco Life for the ‘The route of the flowers’ tour. We messaged him the day before because we wanted to book the tour, it was a bit late too late online and he was able to accommodate us. Salva, was our tour guide and he was very nice from the start. He knows a lot about the history of El Salvador and gave us very good recommendations for the rest of our trip. I enjoyed that he partners with local vendors like a coffee shop we went to in Ataco and we purchased coffee beans from them. We are excited to come back another time and we will definitely book a tour with Tunco Life.Posted on Google![]()

Went to the Conchagua volcano with Chamba, the best tour guide ever!! It’s a long drive there but Chamba made sure everyone had fun and did little stops along the way to show us even more of El Salvador. We did a private trip and he knew that we wanted to be by the sea also, so after we watched the sunrise at Conchagua he took us to several beautiful beaches. We had 2 perfect days and the best time with Chamba 💛💛💛Posted on Google![]()

My fiancée and I did the Tamanique Waterfalls hike with Salva from Tunco Life and Freddy whom was a local tour guide in the region. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the site where we hiked down to multiple amazing waterfalls. There we were given plenty of time to swim, take pictures and take in the environment. Salva and Freddy were knowledgeable to the region and supportive. Overall recommend.
