Suchitoto

Suchitoto, a picturesque colonial town with whitewashed buildings and cobblestone streets, is a popular destination due to its charm, hospitable citizens, and civil war history.

Stay at a converted colonial home that dates back 200 years; explore the town and its various art galleries and boutiques; and enjoy a boat ride on Suchitlán, a large reservoir teeming with birds, which find refuge on the many islands that dot the lake.

Take a side trip to the tropical forest that lies just beyond Suchitoto’s borders where you can hike, jump from waterfalls, and swim in cool natural springs. You can also tour the only hacienda in the country that produces organic indigo and discover the process that defines this ancient craft.
