Hike to Cerro Eramón (Eramón Mount)

It was 6:00 am when we started our trip to “Nombre de Jesús”. A small town in Chalatenango at the north of El Salvador. I have never heard about this place. It was a two hours and 30 minutes trip.

This town borders with Honduras and it's main source of water is River Lempa.

That day was so hot that I started to sweat just beginning the hike.
