Hotel Aire de Montaña

Hotel Aire de Montaña in Concepción de Ataco, in the Ahuachapán Department of El Salvador's scenic Apaneca-Ilamatepec Mountain Range, is a boutique hotel and thermal spa set in the volcanic coffee-growing highlands of western El Salvador, drawing on bicarbonate geothermal water from the Apaneca volcanic complex. The Ruta de las Flores — the celebrated tourist route through El Salvador's flower-festooned highland villages — passes through Concepción de Ataco, one of its most charming colonial towns, and Aire de Montaña's thermal pools complement the town's café culture, artisan markets, and painted mural streets with a volcanic wellness dimension. El Salvador's dense volcanic geology, with its chain of active and dormant stratovolcanoes, provides the geothermal energy that feeds Aire de Montaña's spring-heated pools in one of Central America's most scenically rewarding highland routes.
