SOME REASONS TO DO TOURISM IN EL SALVADOR.
Located in the Zapotitan valley, San Andres is a volcano abandoned years ago. This was used as a settlement before Jesus. As a result of the studies carried out, many tools and levels of agriculture were encountered. San Andres is now known as an important tourist attraction.
Tazumal, located in a region connected to the Chalchuapa center of the country, is an archaeological city belonging to the Mayan civilization. Between the years 1940-1950, archeologist Stanley Boggs’ excavation work has emerged as a result. There are temples of both Maya and Toltekler.
San Miguel is the third most populous city in the country after the capital San Salvador and Santa Ana. It is located about 138 km from the capital. When we compare the population of the world, it is known as the most murderous city. Be careful when you go here for this reason. When you go to the hotel you will see that even the officers here are armed. If you are here, you can visit tourist attractions such as the main square, the cathedral and the administrative building.
Santa Ana is an old Maya-Pokoman settlement. Here you can see the Spanish influence very comfortably. Pipillers called this place Sihuatehuacan. In 1569 a church was built in the name of protector Santa Ana. Then the name of this region was changed and Santa Ana was built. There is a fertile soil to grow cocoa and coffee here. One of the places that must be seen and visited in the country must be this region. When you come here you can visit tourist attractions such as the church, the theater building, the government building and the main square.
Located on the border of the cities of San Salvador, La Paz and Cuscatlan, Ilopango Lake is a volcanic crater with an area of 72 km². The length of the lake is 11 km, the width is 8 km and the depth is 440 meters. Over time the lake, which flows into the ocean, revealed the Jiboa River. There is a small volcanic island on the lake. We recommend you to visit this wonderful scenic lake.
The National Palace is a building built between 1866 and 1870. It was damaged in a later fire. Between 1905 and 1911, materials were restored in many European cities. Until 1974 the country was ruled here. There are 101 rooms including 4 main rooms in the palace.
The Coatepeque Caldera is a volcanic caldera in El Salvador, Central America. Covering an area of 26 km², this caldera dates back to 72,000 to 57,000 years ago. The highest point is 746 meters. Coatepeque Caldera is located in the eastern part of Lake Coatepeque. This lake is a volcanic lake with many hot springs around it. It is a good place for both health tourism and nature tourism here.
Joya de Ceren is the archaeological site of the Mayan period. As a result of excavations made here, many remains were encountered. A well-preserved agricultural city has been discovered because a volcanic eruption is covered by this settlement. This city, known as El Salvador’s Pompeii, must be visited.
El Boqueron National Park is a park located 1800 meters high. This park covers about 5 kilometers. The main attraction of the park is a 5 km-wide, 558-meter-deep crater.

The crowded capital of San Salvador
hasn't historically drawn much in the way of travelers, but a number of
areas have been revitalized in recent years. The city is also central
to many of El Salvador's attractions, like the beaches and San Salvador
volcano. Nearby Santa Ana is much more attractive, surrounded by coffee
plantations and sugarcane fields—travel to the Mayan ruin of Tazumal, the erstwhile setting of human sacrifice! Two hours north, La Palma offers cool weather and beautiful views.
Because El Salvador is so small, travelers are never far from the
country’s Pacific beaches. And what beaches they are. The water is over
eighty degrees on average, the wave breaks are perfect, and the sands
are rarely crowded. No wonder surfers flock to El Salvador’s beaches all year long—the favorites are La Libertad,
Las Flores, and Playa Herradura. The beaches of Costa del Sol and San
Juan del Gozo are better for non-surfers, boasting soft white sands and
calmer waters.
Four hours north of San Salvador, the Montecristo National Park is a
mysterious and beautiful cloud forest, located in the exact spot where
the borders of Guatemala,
Honduras, and El Salvador come together. The El Imposible National Park
is another lovely natural destination—follow the 9km trek to the high
point, Cerro Leon, for some unforgettable vistas of still-smoking
volcanoes.
Sight-Seeing
Disastrously, up to 98% of El Salvador’s forests have been stripped
in the last 30 years. The remaining bits mostly belong to Montecristo
and El Imposible National Parks, as mentioned above. These forests are
home too over 500 species of birds and several mammals, which the
fantastic organization SalvaNatura is striving to save.
Good news: El Salvador, once called the coffee republic, is still
host to numerous plantations. These high-altitude plantations provide
refuge more many of the country’s birds, mammals, and other animals. So
drink up—and even when you’re home, buy coffee from El Salvador
(especially if it’s labeled Fair Trade).
Getting There
El Salvador is tiny, but its tourist infrastructure makes internal
travel more difficult than you might expect. The public bus system is
inexpensive, but buses are crowded and usually, don’t have luggage
racks—not ideal for luxury travelers. Renting a car is a popular choice
(especially for travelers with surfboards), or hiring a driver with a
minivan.
The efficient international bus system Ticabus stops in San Salvador
on its route from Guatemala City south (or reverse). El Salvador’s
international airport in San Salvador is renovated and modern.
Payment
Believe it or not, in 2001 El Salvador adopted the US dollar as legal
tender. Costs in El Salvador are extremely low—no more than $3 USD for your average meal. However, the airport departure tax is hefty at $28
USD and must be paid in cash.
