Top 3 things to do in El Salvador
Surf the Waves at El Tunco
El Salvador is a surfer’s paradise, and El Tunco Beach is its most famous surfing spot. Located on the Pacific coast, El Tunco offers consistent waves, stunning sunsets, and a lively beach town vibe. Whether you’re a beginner taking your first surf lesson or a pro looking for the perfect break, this beach has something for everyone. When you’re not catching waves, explore the rocky shoreline, enjoy fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants, or soak up the laid-back atmosphere. At night, El Tunco transforms into a vibrant hotspot with live music, bars, and a buzzing social scene.
Hike to the Top of Santa Ana Volcano
For breathtaking panoramic views, hike Santa Ana Volcano (Ilamatepec), the highest volcano in El Salvador. The moderate 4-hour round-trip hike takes you through lush forests and volcanic landscapes before reaching the summit, where you’ll be rewarded with a stunning turquoise crater lake. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Lake Coatepeque and even the Pacific Ocean. The hike is well worth the effort, offering a unique chance to experience El Salvador’s volcanic beauty up close. Be sure to bring a camera—the views from the top are simply unforgettable!
Explore the Mayan Ruins of Joya de Cerén
Often referred to as the ‘Pompeii of the Americas,’ Joya de Cerén is one of El Salvador’s most important archaeological sites. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an incredibly well-preserved Mayan village that was buried under volcanic ash nearly 1,400 years ago. Unlike other Mayan ruins, Joya de Cerén provides a rare glimpse into everyday life rather than royal palaces or temples. Walk through ancient homes, storage buildings, and communal areas, learning how Mayan farmers lived before the eruption. This site is a must-visit for history lovers and those curious about El Salvador’s rich cultural heritage.
