Eva Tours El Salvador
¿Why El Salvador? Despite being the smallest country in Central America El Salvador has a great deal to offer. It is mostly a mountainous land with a narrow coastal belt with a variety of attractive vistas to contemplate. Our capital city is surrounded by amazing natural features, with a geography dominated by a central plateau crossed by numerous river valleys, among which the River Lempa valley stands out as the longest in the country. The plateau has an average altitude of 600 metres above sea level and is flanked by two mountainous chains of volcanic origin. In the extreme north of the country high and rugged mountains are located, such as the highest summit of Cerro El Pital, more than 2700 metres above sea level. In addition El Salvador also has the only coral reef on the Pacific coast in the area of Central America. Our country has a great diversity of natural environments to experience as well as a wide range of other attractions to visit from ancient Mayan ruins to modern shopping centres. Being a small country journey times are short: in the space of one day you can visit rugged mountain ranges or climb a volcano, then have lunch in San Salvador and relax at the end of the afternoon beside the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. The culture of El Salvador is a mixture of the Mayan, Lenca, Náhuatl, Ulúa and Spanish cultures, the official language is Spanish and a part of the population still speaks Nahuatl. English is spoken in the most important tourist destinations. Our main industries are food and drinks, with the most typical food the “pupusa” made with maize, which was known by our ancestors as “the grain of gold”. We also have textiles, furniture and small-scale industries, this last one being very common all over the country and contributing in an important way to the national economy. The Mayan presence can be best seen in the most important archaeological discovery in recent year s in Latin America. The Joya de Cerén, a Mayan village known as “the Pompeii of the Americas” was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1993. El Salvador is definitively a land of enchantment which offers a wide range of tourist options with a unique character, accompanied by a friendly and hospitable population.

Miramundo, Cihuatán and Vegetable Plantations. Departing from the hotel, we will visit the archaeological site of Cihuatán (”place of women”). The city of Cihuatán, is one of the more spectacular and more important archaeological treasures of Central America which has remained largely unknown until the present time. The modern world received the first news of Cihuatán in 1878 when the neighbours of Guazapa told the German-North American traveller, Simeon Habel, that he had passed through the ruins of a city hidden in the forest during his trip from Chalatenango to Guazapa. The old city of Cihuatán was left hidden and covered by the forest until the 1930´s, when the population of the valley grew by migration and the adjacent town of Aguilares was founded. In 1925 the North American archaeologist Samuel Lothrop visited the site and made a map of the western ceremonial centre. The Salvadoran government bought the lands of the western ceremonial centre and declared Cihuatán a national monument in 1977. After the visit, we will continue until arriving at the vegetable plantations with majestic landscapes and an pleasant climate between 18º and 30º C. The Miramundo mountain has panoramic views of coniferous forests and of the mountains of Honduras, as it is situated on the borders of the two countries. Later we will enjoy a delicious lunch in the Entre Pinos Hotel or the Miramundo Inn. Then, on the way back we will stop in the city of La Palma, famous for its colourful handicrafts. Return to San Salvador and hotel.

Peace Route. We will visit the town of Perquín, a settlement founded by Lenca tribes long before the colonial era. In Lenca language Perquin means “Way of ignited coals” since for a long time they used flints to make fire. Here we will visit the Museum of the Revolution, where we will learn the history and causes of the armed conflict in El Salvador. Then we will walk towards the hill of Perquín, where we will have a beautiful view of the zone of Nahuaterique (border zone with Honduras). We will visit a former guerrilla camp and the “tatús” that during the war were bunkers used by the guerrillas to protect themselves from aerial bombardment. Then between the towns of Perquín and Arambala we will visit the famous River Sapo, which is one of the few non-contaminated water courses in the country, named after its emerald green colour. The river makes its way through seemingly endless rock formations underneath the leafy vegetation that distinguishes the northern part of Morazán. Lunch in a restaurant in Perquín. Recommendations: Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. It is necessary to sleep 1 night in Perquín

Colonial Suchitoto Departure from the hotel. We will go to the beautiful city of Suchitoto “Place of birds and flowers” (its name in Nahuatl language). Suchitoto, a cradle of history and culture, is a place where it seems that the time has stopped, where we find an old colonial town with very clean stone-paved streets, interesting facades and large houses. The church of Santa Lucia, constructed in 1853, is one of the main attractions of Suchitoto beacuse of its original style which is composed of neo-classical and barroque elements amongst others. As well as these architectural elements there are also tuscan, doric, ionic and corinthian elements which mark a departure from the styles used during the colonial era and the beginning of a new architectural tendency. The church is one of the best examples of 19th century architecture in El Salvador. On the outskirts of the city we will enjoy the great variety of nature including Lake Suchitlán. This impressive artificial lake has an extension of 135 square kilometres, which makes it the largest lake in El Salvador.

Panorama of Volcanoes and Mayan Pyramids Departure from the hotel. For persons who love contact with nature, we offer the Cerro Verde National Park. The Cerro Verde is a dormant volcano located at an altitude of 2.035 metres above sea level with an area of 500 hectares and is characterised by having a cloud forest. The impressive panoramic views that you can enjoy from here include the coastal plains, the Izalco volcano and Lake Coatepeque. The Izalco volcano (altitude of 1,870 mts.) first erupted in 18th century and the continuing eruptions over a period of 200 years often served as a light to sailors on the Pacific Ocean or when they were coming into the port of Acajutla to berth. After this tour, we will go to San Andrés, a pre-Columbian ceremonial centre. San Andrés is one of the largest pre-Hispanic centres of El Salvador. It is thought that San Andrés exercised control over the valley of Zapotitán and some neighboring zones, such as the valley of Hamacas where San Salvador is located. Investigations indicate the existence of an agricultural population from 900 BC to around 420 AC. when the gigantic eruption of Ilopango volcano caused the abandonment of the region. Our third destination will be Joya de Cerén, the most important archaeological discovery during last the 50 years in all Latin America, a Mayan village that shows how ordinary Mayan people lived.
