The Essentials of El Salvador: Mayan Culture, Volcanoes, & Beaches

Start & end in San Salvador 8 days Up to 99

About this trip

Eight days across El Salvador, moving from the capital's museums and markets to colonial Suchitoto, the coffee hills of the Flower Route, and the Pacific coast at Surf City.

This is a private, fully guided trip, so the pace and detail can flex to suit you, whether that's more time at a Mayan site or an extra hour on a black-sand beach.

Expect a mix of archaeology, volcano country, and colonial towns, with the sea as your finish rather than the main event.
