On to El Salvador and Honduras high points
Today I will leave my bike in Aguilares (30 km N of San Salvador) and leave by bus to the area of Cerro El Pital, El Salvador’s high point and then nearby Cerro Las Minas in Honduras. Both of them are less than 3000m, so no challenge from altitude there.
El Pital is not a mountaineering challenge at all, as there is a road up there and a camp ground 5 minutes from the summit! It’s more like a drive / walk in the park.
Las Minas, however, is more remote and has 2000 m elevation gain through the cloud forest, so this should be a real good hike.
As with Tajumulco, I expect the real adventure to be the various bus rides to get to the respective trails.
I should be back in 3 days. Check back for an update and photos soon!
