Tours & Activities in El Salvador

El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America by area but the most densely populated, with over 6 million people in just 13,352 square kilometers.

The country sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and has 23 volcanoes, including Santa Ana, the highest volcano in Central America at 2,381 meters.

Pupusas—thick corn tortillas stuffed with cheese, beans, or meat—are El Salvador's national dish and you'll find street vendors serving them throughout the country.

El Salvador was the birthplace of the modern coffee industry in Central America, with coffee plantations dating back to the 19th century and still producing world-class beans.

The Mayan ruins of Joya de Cerén, preserved by volcanic ash around 600 AD, earned UNESCO World Heritage status as 'the Pompeii of the Americas'.

El Salvador abolished its military in 1992 after the civil war ended, making it unique among Latin American nations.
