El Salvador is a beautiful and very interesting country. We are so glad to have had so many wonderful experiences there. Our proposed itinerary was great, but due to an unexpected mess up, we had to alter plans it a bit. Fortunately, our guide rescued the situation and we still saw the major highlights of the tour and possibly a few more! The hike to the summit of Santa Ana was spectacular (video include) as was our indigo dying experience (video). And nothing can beat the gorgeous sunsets El Tunco!Show more
