El Salvador: Updates & Travel

Travel in El Salvador

El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, but has a lot to offer: tropical rainforests, volcanoes, many animal species, Mayan ruins, nice towns and colonial villages.
In addition, you will (still) encounter very few other tourists!
Suchitoto: This is the former capital of El Salvador. This is a small, quiet, beautiful town, a cultural center where artists also live. It is nice to walk through and experience the atmosphere. A well-known central plaza with houses built in old continental style. Suchitoto is located in the mountains with a view of a beautiful lake.
Perquin is a small town, between the pine forests, rivers and waterfalls. It is good walking with a cool and fresh climate. In this place you can also understand more about the civil war, in the museum of revolution.
El Impossible National Park is the largest national park, and you can spot wildlife there. Or go to Los Volcanoes National Park, with three volcanoes next to each other in a jungle-like landscape.
Visit the pyramid of Tazumal, the Mayans burned their victims there.
El Salvador is also called the surfing mecca. Go to Playa El Zonte for beginners. Or go to Punta Roca with the fantastic waves. Or go to Playa Las Flores known for its stable long waves. Or try Playa El Sunzal. Enough choice!
