El Salvador

One of the greatest perks of group travel is having ready-made friends to explore and do activities with, which – for me – is a lot more enjoyable than traveling solo.

Starting in Antigua, Guatemala and finishing in San Jose, Costa Rica, the trip also features ruins in Honduras, islands in Nicaragua, beaches in El Salvador and so much more.

Laid-back, friendly and beautiful, it’s no surprise that this delightful little town is often considered the cultural capital of the country, and is a must-see destination for anyone going to El Salvador.

It’s a country with a story to tell but also a country with lots to offer. The people are welcoming, the beers are cheap and sites are almost tourist-free.

El Salvador was the last Central American country on my list and I regret not visiting it sooner. Come with an open heart and you will be welcomed with open arms.

Here’s what you can expect from a jaunt through the only country in the world that doubles as a noun.
