El Salvador


Recommended Posts

I know it's just opening up in the last year thanks to El Presidente locking up all the gang members.   My daughter is headed to England with baby momma to attend a soccer camp which happens to coincide with my sons 18th birthday.   So I'm taking him to El Salvador with me. My son is not a fan of the beach but ATVs, zip lining, volcanos etc he would enjoy. Anyone been esp since they've cleaned it up?

A guy I work with is married to a woman from El Salvador.  I know they went there several years ago.  I'll see what he has to say.my friend:  

 

Edit:  Per my friend: "Ruta de las Floras in Juayua!  They have Los churros there (7 waterfalls), coffee plantation tours, hike volcano Izalco, cerro verde, lake coatepeque, markets in Merliot." 

 

He's trying to think of more.  They had a great time.

@dcbc

Would you mind asking your friend about this?

Renting a car and driving the hour down to El Zapote.  Will hit the Los Churros on the drive between El Tunco and Santa Anna area

2 nts El Zapote - Tesoro Beach Hotel (fish and beach)

2 nts El Tunco - Hotel Los Farallones (fish, nightlife, beach, surf)

3 nts Santa Ana - Villa Noellia (Volacno hikes, lakes etc)

1 San Salvador - Hilton

Fly home

I just texted this to him.  I'll let you know what he says.

Here's his response:

 

Looks great. Maybe add Chalatenango/cerro el Pital. But that looks like a great itinerary to get the vibe.

 

Make sure to hit lago coatepeque, izalco, Santa Ana volcano, and cerro verde. All three are right next to each other and very different. But I think he has those covered on the 3 nights in Santa Ana area. The entire west coast highway is like driving on pacific coast highway 101 or whatever. Very cool.

 

Make sure to also try not only regular pupusas but also the ones made in a rice wrapper, kind of like gummy noodles. Bad ass.

 

And when leaving the airport, stop off in the town of cojutepeque, which has some of the best damned sausages anywhere. The whole town is known for them, and they are very different

Awesome. Thank you. Good to have some validation on my iten.  I get the feeling that this will not be my last visit.  Esp if I want to get on the pacific and can find a good fishing guide
