Explore San Salvador: Historic Center, local market and volcano

Despre activitate

Explore the highlights of the city with a native guide of San Salvador.

Visit major historical spots, main avenues, commercial and residential districts, sightseeing landmarks and monuments that commemorate relevant historical figures and events.

Many public buildings in El Centro were made during years of splendor of coffee exports, with a mix of architectural styles.

Since the recent renovation Downtown is nicer and safer than ever to walk. Many businesses are boosting up and it has become "the place to be".

Walk the streets learning details of events that occurred on this very place over almost 500 years of history and the people that took part in it. From colony to Independence. From the Federation to the Coffee Republic. From military regimes to democracy. From repressions to big celebrations and presidential inaugurations.

On the afternoon visit a local market (you can have lunch here) followed by a walk in the cloud forest at El Boquerón Nat. Park, on San Salvador volcano.

Itinerar

  1. Iglesia El Rosario

    30 min Intrarea inclusă

    One of the most intriguing buildings of San Salvador downtown and a must-see for any visitor to the city.

    Finished in 1971 El Rosario is the pièce de résistance of the architect/sculptor Rubén Martínez: a brutalist temple wich is also a mind blowing piece of art. The contrast of the gray facade and the colorful interior, the use of space, the large and small details and all those hidden stories make El Rosario one of the places you must see in your life.

    This place is not only a landmark but also a major historical spot. It was Declared Historical Site in 1973 by the National Congress.

  2. Plaza Libertad

    15 min

    This is the oldest public square of San Salvador, dating back from the second foundation of San Salvador in the 1545, surrounded by important civil and religious buildings.

    It was in this city where the independence process of Central America started and Plaza Libertad pays honor to the Founding Fathers that led this major historical event.

  3. National Theater San Salvador

    Trecere fără oprire

    Built over a hundred years ago this elegant neoclassical theater is the center of the performing arts in the city.

    This theater and the Plaza Morazán square across the street were part of the renovation of San Salvador Downtown few years ago.

    (Guided visits into the theater upon request and availability).

  4. Catedral Metropolitana de San Salvador

    o oră

    The most important church in El Salvador for the catholic community, this is also the seat of the Archbishop of San Salvador. In its crypt lays the body of Saint Óscar Romero.

    The current temple is the third in this location after the previous two were destroyed by earthquakes and fires. Along 40 years of construction it was silent witness of many historical events. From passionated speeches delivered by Óscar Romero to military repressions. And from celebrations to presidential inaugurations in Main Square, across the street.

    Plaza Gerardo Barrios is the heart of the city. Flanked by historical buildings this is the Main Square of the city and a gathering place for Salvadorans.

    Learn about historical events and stories of the people that built this city while you walk in the recently renovated streets of El Centro.

    Have a coffee or talk to the locals. There's always something worthy to discover in downtown.

  5. Plaza Barrios

    15 min

    San Salvador Main Square or Plaza Cívica is the heart of the city.

    We'll visit a nearby private attraction instead

  10. Antiguo Cuscatlan

    o oră

    Few things are more representative of a country than local markets with the vendors, the fresh products, flowers, fruits, groceries and, of course, local food.

    We make a stop at the Mercadito de Antiguo to enjoy a home-style lunch. Here, where the locals eat.
