El Salvador
If you’ve never thought about visiting El Salvador, you wouldn’t be alone. It once had a reputation for being one of the most dangerous countries to travel to. However, things have recently changed and El Salvador has a lot to offer its visitors and is now a country worth traveling to.
El Salvador offers a mix of volcanic landscapes, historic towns, outdoor adventures, and some of Central America’s best surfing. Explore the capital of San Salvador before heading to Santa Ana, a colorful city that’s a great base for hiking the Santa Ana Volcano and visiting nearby Lake Coatepeque.
Along the Pacific coast, places like El Tunco and El Zonte are known for their laid-back beach atmosphere, consistent waves, and thriving surf scene. You can also follow the Ruta de las Flores through small mountain towns such as Juayúa and Ataco, where you’ll find local markets, coffee farms, waterfalls, and colorful streets.
Despite its small size, El Salvador packs a surprising amount into a trip.
