Welcome to El Salvador! On arrival at El Salvador International Airport, meet your driver guide who’s been waiting with a welcome board at the exit area and will escort you to the well-selected hotel in downtown San Salvador.
Barcelo San Salvador (4 stars)
In the morning, we will firstly drive half an hour to the El Boqueron National Park, to meet the second largest volcano of El Salvador, the San Salvador Volcano. We’ll first explore a small museum at the base to get you a comprehensive knowledge about the volcano. On the top of the crater, also discover a panoramic view of the San Salvador city. During your lunch break in downtown, perhaps get a refreshing taste of local coffee houses at your own expense.

Today, let’s go all the way down the Flower Route, or Ruta de Las Flores, the most scenic route in El Salvador. The Concepcion de Ataco we are now in is the liveliest of all－street murals are everywhere and there are stalls selling local handicrafts and traditional instruments. Apaneca enjoys invigorating expanses of lush coffee plantations. Juayua is the biggest town, and if today falls on weekends, you’ll join locals and vendors spilled from plazas to side streets celebrating the food festival.
