La Puerta del Diablo

In 1762 a fierce storm created the stone formation now known as La Puerta del Diablo (Devil's Door). Despite its malevolent name, it provides a sublime panoramic view of a chunk of El Salvador's glorious countryside.
The two large rocks that partially cut the mountain of Cerro del Chulo appear as a giant open door revealing the the Pacific coast, Lake Ilopango, San Vicente volcano, and the Cerro de las Pavas behind.
Abseiling is unsurprisingly popular in such a spectacular location and heartily encouraged by the El Salvador Federation of Mountaineering, who have fixed the necessary attachments to the rocks for those that relish heights.
