    El Salvador is a lovely country. Because of its history, many might not consider traveling there. It has a lush, tropical vibe and the beaches are fabulous. Lots of nice restaurants too.

    This site lacks the drama of the grand pyramid sites of Mesoamerica, but it illustrates the life in smaller villages and farms of the Mayan and post-Mayan civilizations. The pyramids in El Salvador are mostly buried. I found particularly interesting the layers and layers of ash that delineate the eruptions which continually interrupted the development of the towns in this area. Joya de Cerén is different from Pompeii, in that the people all fled before the volcano erupted. The only skeleton that was found was that of a duck.

    An impressive monumental building, it cannot be said that it is an architectural masterpiece, but it makes an impression. Unfortunately failed to get inside.

    Such a great garden! It also has a nursery where you can purchase plants.

    It is in the middle of an industrial park with tight parking. I would advise getting there before 1pm to avoid not finding parking.

    Located in the same location as when it was operating. It offers free parking. It sure brings back memories. It nice, clean and organized. You get the chance to see different locomotives that were us us through the years...call in advance to find out the exact time the train tour is on. You get to ride the train around the facility for about 15 minutes. This ride cost $1.00 in addition to the $1.00 you pay to get in.

    It is a good place to run or take a walk offering you with various paths to wander around. It is a well-maintained tranquil place surrounded with trees and greens to escape from the city.

    We drove by the monument but couldn't stop by as they were setting up for a Christmas event happening later that evening. Nonetheless, the monument is beautiful with Jesus sitting on top of the World.

    Metro centro is really close from several hotels in the zona rosa. There are luxury stores and movie theaters inside. Very crowded place so if you’re looking for a place to relax perhaps might want to go some other day.

    I took a walking tour in San Salvador, and it started with a walk through Cuscatlan Park. My guide Estafanie gave me a great tour, and the history of the monument there. The 12 year Civil War memorial is absolutely beautiful, and shows every person who lost their lives throughout these dreadful times. I highly recommend walking though the Park and check it out.

    Eco Tours is the best option to safely get around in El Salvador! We had the pleasure of meeting Raphael and his knowledge of the country is amazing!

    We hired his services for transport to and from the airport, a trip to lake Coatepeque, Los Naranjos, and Ataco.
    He was always on time, gave us excellent suggestions to visit, dine and shop! His large commercial van was comfortable and fit my family of 6! Raphael knew his way around the cities and best ways to avoid traffic!

    I highly recommend this company for your transport needs in El Salvador! I will be using this service again on our next trip to the beautiful country of El Salvador!

    I spent three days with this family-owned and operated company - not only did they show me around safely, it felt like they were my family while traveling solo in El Salvador. No question, I'd recommend them 100% to anyone looking for any kind of tour in the county. They'll make it happen.

    I HIGHLY recommend this tour company! Adonis was our tour guide and Eric was our driver. They both went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing experience while touring the Joya de ceren and the Cerre Verde!
