Along the Pacific coast stretch mile after mile of beaches--some with full service resorts, and others that are more remote with as much solitude as you wish. The coast also boasts spectacular cliffs of volcanic rock and pristine estuaries where you can go canoeing and birdwatching.

Another highlight of El Salvador is the Mayan archaeological site of Joya de Cerén, which has also been called the Pompeii of the Americas. Due to a large volcanic ash fall 1300 years ago, you will have a unique glimpse into the daily life of the Mayan people.

The National Parks are also stunning. Montecristo National Park is a gorgeous cloud forest reserve with a lovely orchid garden and walkways of Spanish moss. Take a short hike to the top of a nearby mountain that forms the borders of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The relatively new park of El Imposibile boasts excellent birdwatching and many overlooks where you'll have clear views of forested canyons and the pacific coastline.
