It's 5:30 a.m. Yes it is ! And this morning we are up bright and early, because
we are going on a little bit of an adventure, we are doing a kayaking tour
with Suchitoto Adventure Outfitters, and we're doing a kayaking bird tour this
morning to see what we could spot on the nearby lake Suchitlan.

So we just
switched transport and we are off, the sun is coming up, it's a nice beautiful
day, and this time of day, is absolutely amazing, and we have our same guide as
yesterday! Josue, and we're going to have another cool day.
Music
So we've arrived at the shores of the lake, and how beautiful does this look
this morning? I'm really looking forward to this.
The lighting is beautiful, the sun is trying to come out.
Music
We've made it in the water, without capsizing, which is always a great start
to the day. You are with me now !! Everything is going to be ok ha ha !
Music
What a beautiful place, and as we're going around and Josue is pointing out the
different birds and wildlife that we see. There is a lot of species of birds.
They're very hard to capture on film, the kayak is moving, but we're doing
our best to get some photos and video, but it is an absolutely morning. It is lovely! I actually really like canoeing.

So Lake Suchitlan is actually a man-made lake,
and it was created by building a dam in 1973, and before the dam was built
this area used to be farmland, and then when the dam was built, obviously the
lake was created, the farmers had to turn to fishing, so it's actually fed by the
river Lempa, which is the biggest river in El Salvador.
🎼
So if you do come to Suchitoto, I would definitely recommend coming
kayaking on the lake, it's so beautiful and if you're at staying in San Salvador,
EC Tours do actually include this kayaking, as part of some of the day
trips and tours from San Salvador.
