Description

Cerro El Pital (2,730 m) is El Salvador’s highest point, in the Chalatenango highlands near Honduras. Wikidata identifies it as a mountain and confirms its elevation and coordinates. Mountain forest and cool air make it a camping destination. Walkers can follow the access road from Río Chiquito or start closer to the summit after a vehicle approach. A 2013 trip report describes a border marker and telecommunications installation at the top; transport schedules, private-land access and fees in older accounts need reconfirmation.

Pendakian jalan akses

From Río Chiquito, follow the cobbled road that becomes dirt toward the campsite and summit. Skrede walked this in April 2013; a sign gave 5.5 km, though he questioned the distance. Arrange return transport beforehand.

Climbing Experiences

This collection includes visit and hiking videos plus the Gilbertsons’ firsthand 2013 report. Their account separates a difficult vehicle approach from a short summit walk. The rainy-season video highlights poor visibility; older experiences do not establish current road or service conditions.
