Nestled in the heart of Central America, El Salvador is a beautiful and largely undiscovered destination. From palm-lined, tropical beaches and surging rainforests to steaming volcanoes and lush mangroves, it is the perfect adventure vacation destination for outdoor enthusiasts of all backgrounds. With our bike, wake, and surf tour, you'll take full advantage of all this picturesque country has to offer. Under the guidance of our highly skilled instructors, you'll develop in three of the most popular warm-weather pastimes, surfing, wakesurfing, and mountain biking, and still have time to sample some of El Salvador's unique cultural highlights.
Our adventure vacation begins on the long, white-sand beaches of Costa del Sol, where warm water, and gentle, consistent waves make this the ideal place for learning to surf. Thanks to the calm waters of the nearby mangroves, this is also an ideal region for wakesurfing. Wakesurfing is a water sport in which a surfer trails behind a ski boat, surfing the boat's wake which can mimic the look and feel of an actual ocean wave. After getting up on the wave by use of a tow rope, wakesurfers ride the small face below the wave's peak in a fashion reminiscent of ocean surfing. During the final days of our trip we'll move to a small, mountain resort in Apaneca, where we'll ride mountain bike trails through spectacular jungle.
INSTRUCTION
During the course of this trip you'll have the chance to develop your skills in three sports: surfing, wakesurfing and mountain biking. If you're new to these sports our experienced instructor will teach you the basics of each and will provide you with the foundation you need to try them on your own upon returning home. If you've already tried these sports our instructor will provide you with tips and advice so you can take your performance to the next level.
