Package holiday to San Salvador

San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, is located in a valley surrounded by volcanoes — the Volcán de San Salvador (1,893 m) towers directly above the city. The two-million metropolis has dramatically transformed in recent years: from one of the most dangerous cities in the world to an emerging travel destination that surprises with security improvements, volcanic adventures, and a vibrant gastronomy scene.

The historic center is awakening after decades of neglect: The Catedral Metropolitana with the tomb of Archbishop Óscar Romero (canonized in 2018), the Palacio Nacional, and the Plaza Gerardo Barrios form the colonial heart. The Museo Nacional de Antropología (MUNA) showcases the Maya and Pipil history of El Salvador.

The Zona Rosa and Colonia Escalón are the modern districts with restaurants, cafés, and nightlife. El Salvador's gastronomy scene is booming, led by Pupuserías — restaurants specializing in Pupusas, the stuffed corn tortillas declared the national dish.

The surroundings are volcanic and spectacular: The Boquerón crater of the Volcán de San Salvador offers hikes to the crater rim, the Lago de Coatepeque (one of the most beautiful crater lakes in the world), and the Maya site Joya de Cerén (UNESCO, the Pompeii of the Americas) are all within an hour.

San Salvador particularly impresses with diverse holiday experiences. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
