best places to visit in el salvador
Suchitoto
Suchitoto is a former colonial city and municipality in the Department of Cuscatlán, El Salvador that has seen continuous human habitation long before Spanish colonization.
The city suffered structural damage in the Civil War (1980-1992) but now has become a popular tourist destination. Suchitoto is a national magnet for culture partly due to its well-conserved colonial architecture and cobblestone roads that provide a sense of Spanish colonial living, as well as its art and food festivals. To experience more untouched nature, you can head beyond the town for waterfalls and caves, or take your binoculars to Lake Suchitlán, where migratory species include the country’s largest duck population.
Montecristo National Park
Montecristo National Park is a large national park located in the Montecristo cloud forest at the north-western tip of El Salvador. The park was founded in 2008 and covers an area of 19.73 km2.
From the highest peak (El Trifino, at 2,418m) to the lowest valleys, the park looks like a long-lost world, with a dense canopy of oaks and laurel trees soaring up to 30m, and mushrooms, lichens, and mosses covering the forest floor. During the tour, you might be lucky enough to see the rare likes of pumas and anteaters, spider monkeys, and coyotes. Even if you don’t, sightings of squirrels and porcupines, black shrewmice, and white-tailed deer are common. Additionally, the park is rich with 300 bird species, including quetzals, green toucans, and white-faced quails. Keep your eyes peeled.
