Activity itinerary

Nahuizalco

Nahuizalco has some of the largest indigenous populations in the Western region and is home of ancient traditions as the colourful weekends street market when farmers come to sell their fresh products: flowers, greens, seasonal fruits, cooked goods and handcrafts. Interesting fact, despite there's an indoor market, the street market is a women business. The John the Baptist church is one of the best preserved colonial churches of El Salvador. Don't forget to check the the diverse handcrafts, locally made. The signature crafts are weaved products (such as baskets, table mats, lamp shades, etc). Many of this are made by single mothers at home, so they can care their children and make a living.
Salcoatitan (Pass by)
According the pre-hispanic tradition Salcoatitán was The Sacred Place of Quetzacoatl, the mythical Feathered Serpent deity. An ancient ceiba tree (also sacred for the Mesoamerican cultures) grows magnificent by the road and the mosaic to Quetzalcóatl
Juayua

Juayúa is famous for the high quality coffee and for the weekends FOOD FEST, the ultimate street food experience in El Salvador! In the ancient Nahua language, Juayúa stands for "Place of Purple Orchids" and is a small city, surrounded by volcanic slopes where grows world-class quality coffee. Yes, yes... you heard about the Food Fest (Festival Gastronómico) and want to know about. This runs every weekend (and major holidays) when locals set food stalls along the streets around main square, cooking fresh, local and exotic delicacies. From fresh seafood ceviches, mix khababs, smoked pork ribs, garlic prawns... all selections served with different sides (cheese, avocado, pickled vegetables, rice and beans, etc) to desserts for a great value. Here you eat what locals eat!
