El Salvador Essentials

El Salvador’s landscape is defined by the dramatic peaks of the Santa Ana and Izalco volcanoes and the expansive Coatepeque crater lake. Historical sites range from the UNESCO-listed Joya de Cerén, a Maya farming village preserved by volcanic ash, to the pre-Columbian pyramids of Tazumal. Architectural highlights include the Neo-Gothic Santa Ana Cathedral, the neoclassical National Palace, and the unconventional El Rosario Church, known for its arched concrete roof and vibrant stained-glass windows.
