The route takes in surf lessons at El Tunco, a guided hike up Santa Ana Volcano, Lake Coatepeque and the coffee towns of the Ruta de las Flores, ending at Santa Teresa Hot Springs. Real prices run throughout, from $1 pupusas to $45 surf lessons. Notes on renting a car and kids entering free make it easy to plan.
