Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de El Salvador
Known as the 'Little Thumb of America' for its small size, El Salvador is a nation of immense natural and cultural wealth. From its volcano crater lakes and famous Pacific beaches, to its Mayan archaeological sites and colorful colonial towns, it is a destination that surprises and captivates.
It is the Salvadoran experience par excellence. Pupusa is the soul of national gastronomy. It consists of sitting in a 'pupusería' and ordering these handmade corn or rice tortillas, stuffed with cheese, chicharrón, beans or loroco. They are eaten with the hands, accompanied by 'curtido' (pickled cabbage) and tomato sauce. It is a simple and perfect delight.
One of the most rewarding hikes in Central America. After a moderately difficult climb through changing landscapes, the reward is peering into the impressive crater of the Ilamatepec volcano and contemplating the incredible lagoon of turquoise sulfur waters inside. The views of Lake Coatepeque and the Izalco volcano are spectacular.
El Tunco is the epicenter of surf culture in El Salvador. Whether you decide to take a class and ride your own waves or prefer to relax with a beer and watch the experts at sunset, the atmosphere can't be beat. Its sunsets, its beach caves and its bohemian atmosphere make it a mandatory stop.
This is a scenic route of about 36 km that passes through charming mountain towns such as Juayúa, Apaneca and, especially, Concepción de Ataco. Enjoy its cobblestone streets, colorful houses, artistic murals, weekend markets and the opportunity to visit coffee farms and hidden waterfalls.
Considered the cultural capital of El Salvador, Suchitoto is a perfectly preserved colonial gem. Walking through its quiet cobblestone streets, admiring the Santa Lucía church, visiting its art galleries and enjoying the panoramic views of Lake Suchitlán from one of its cafes is an experience that transports you to another era.
Visiting the Joya de Cerén archaeological site is a unique experience. This Mayan village was preserved by ash from a volcanic eruption 1,400 years ago, similar to Pompeii. It allows you to see what the daily life of the Mayan farmers was like, something that is not found in the great temples and pyramids.

Ver guía completaThe official currency of El Salvador has been the United States Dollar (USD) since 2001. It is not necessary to exchange currencies if you travel with dollars. Bitcoin is also legal tender, although its use is not widespread.
El Salvador has seen a drastic improvement in security in recent years, turning many tourist areas into safe places. However, as in any country, it is important to use common sense, avoid known risk areas (especially at night) and consult official travel recommendations.
Renting a car offers the most flexibility for exploring the country. In cities, services like Uber are a safe and affordable option. For a local experience, 'chicken buses' (colourful buses) connect throughout the country, although they can be slow and crowded.
