The Peñón de Cayaguanca, 6 km north, is 1 622 m above sea level; You can see toucans or the surprising fourmilier. The temperate climate of the region allows the cultivation of vegetables and fruits (strawberries, blackberries, lettuce…) in Las Pilas, the unusual El Salvador. 11 km from the city, El Pital is the highest mountain in the country, at 2 730 m altitude (bird watching, mountain biking).
