San Salvador and its Environs
The capital city of San Salvador is characterized by its bustling commerce, zigzagging traffic, and boundless energy. Explore everything from the city’s old cathedral and theater to its celebrated museums: the Museum of Art and the Museum of Anthropology.The city’s outskirts offer various places well worth exploring as well: the San Salvador Volcano, which stands protectively at the city’s edge; Lake Ilopango, whose waters fill the crater of an extinct volcano; Panchimalco, a quiet town nestled between verdant mountains and jutting boulders; and La Libertad, a coastal town whose beaches boast some of the world’s best waves.
