About this site
Lago de Ilopango is a large volcanic caldera lake in central El Salvador, east of San Salvador, formed by one of the region's major eruptions in ancient times. Cerro El Mono refers to a hill along its shoreline, and diving in the area takes place in the lake's volcanic waters, which are known for underwater fumarole activity in various spots around the caldera. The lake sits at a high elevation and is ringed by several municipalities, including Ilopango and Apulo.
