Best attractions

The whole country is an attraction in itself; with beautiful mountains, volcanoes, thermal pools, rivers and lakes, it’s a gorgeous country. The people are friendly, the food is good and the beaches are on par with anywhere in the region. El Zonte, El Este and La Libertad are some of the best surfing destinations and have the prettiest beaches, too.

Seek out the smaller villages in San Miguel or Santa Ana, for some pupusa (a corn roll with minced beef and spices) and to chat with the locals in the bars. La Gran Via and Plaza Merliot are the best places for shopping and if the exchange rate sticks, then your dollars will go a lot further.

Tourists’ favorite time to go

November through to April are the best times to go to El Salvador, as the temperatures are milder but still very warm. The humidity levels are lower near to the sea, although inland it’s always humid thanks to the rainforests.

Christmas and Easter are fantastic times to go as the country celebrates their religious festivals in style. Firecrackers, partying, music, food and drink, and laughter, are all on the agenda and everyone is made welcome.
