SUCHITLAN LAKE |
This impressive lake was created artificially in 1973 by the Cerron Grande Dam. It has a surface extension of 135 km2, which makes it the largest inland body of water in El Salvador. Lake Suchitlan is one of Suchitoto's principal attractions not only for its size and beauty, but also for the number of fish and birds that live there. |
Just two kilometres behind Suchitoto, there is a beautiful Suchitlan Lake. |
We go on a 45-minute boat ride |
The lake |
It is just us and our guide |
It is really relaxing to be in the shade and near water after long time of walking in the heat |
We are ploughing ahead |
We are cruising towards a special place |
There is some mysterious "Hermitage Cave" there |
|
This was his home. He slept here, cooked, and spent all his days |
We are leaving the cave island |
Beautiful blackbirds, cormorans, I think. I am not a bird expert though |
And another shot of them |
The lake is quiet |
You can even observe the peaceful reflection of the clouds |
Chill time |
Lake is covered with lilly flowers |
Few fishermen trying out their luck |
Sun is already setting |
This is the goodbye to the boatman and the lake |
