"The tour is like a roller coaster of emotions, from stories of the civil war and gang violence to crowded and chaotic markets. It's a fantastic way to see San Salvador," commented one of our clients.
We invite you to discover the capital of the country that has changed the most in Latin America, a place that not long ago was known as the murder capital of the world.
Stroll through the city's most iconic squares, visit the Rosario Church, one of the few Brutalist churches on the continent, and visited by tourists from all over the world. And what about the National Library, the most modern in Central America? Also, visit the crypt of Romero, who was assassinated while celebrating Mass, and whose tomb is a must-see.
Learn, laugh, taste and walk with us.
