Stay : El Salvador in 10 days

This country is still little known in the world of tourism. Its small size allows travelers to easily reach any point from San Salvador. These few days allow to venture in different places, not damaged by the effects of mass tourism: a colonial village, volcanoes, beaches perfect for surfing (or losing the notion of time).

Day 1: San Salvador

Steps: Santa Ana, San Salvador, Volcán San Salvador, Santa Tecla

The Salvadoran capital is much more pleasant than the capitals of neighbouring countries. The roads are particularly good and it is much easier to travel to El Salvador by car. It is therefore not necessary to hesitate to rent some.

Relaxation and visit of the capital. The tour begins in the Salvador del Mundo square where the monument, the symbol of the city, is located. Head for the historic centre: the cathedral, the National Theatre, the National Palace, the El Rosario church, Plaza Barrios, Plaza Libertad and a visit to the National Museum of Anthropology. The afternoon will be devoted to the vehicle ascent of the San Salvador volcano. A 2-hour stop at El Boquerón National Park is to be expected. This park is the crater of the San Salvador volcano, at an altitude of 1,893 meters. From the viewpoint it is possible to contemplate the whole city of San Salvador.

In the early evening, a walk to the paseo del Carmen in Santa Tecla is a must, especially on weekends. The many restaurants and bars in this festive district are a must.

Day 2: Suchitoto

Steps: Bahía De Jiquilisco, Suchitoto

Departure for the village of Suchitoto, the only fully preserved colonial village. Visit along its cobbled streets, its colonial church, its art galleries. In the afternoon: one hour boat trip on the lake.

Day 3: Santa Ana

Steps: Santa Ana, Lago De Coatepeque

Heading west for Santa Ana. Day trip to Lake Coatepeque where you can ride a water scooter, dive or even take a short cruise! In the city of Santa Ana, a visit to the theatre and the Villa Morena pedestrian zone for a meal is a must.
