El Salvador

Since the signing of the peace accords in 1992, El Salvador has awakened to its cultural identity, archaeological treasures, contemporary artistic expressions, and culinary traditions. Here we find virtually everything to satisfy the experienced traveler: a country untainted by tourism and known for its Maya ruins, colonial towns, colorful markets, and genuinely friendly people. You will find lakes, dramatic volcanoes, beautiful beaches, delicious food, and a dynamic contemporary art scene. The diversity of terrain and sights found in this small country with an extensive coffee cultivation tradition is impressive. Many activities and visits can be comfortably done on day trips from the modern capital city of San Salvador. For an easy and fun, off the beaten path travel, El Salvador is a jewel in Central America waiting to be discovered.
