Sunrise, San Salvador El Salvador may be smaller than its neighbors in Central America, but this just means its multiple attractions are more concentrated and easier to enjoy. This allows you to sample the charms of this colorful land of volcanoes, beaches and jungles in a short period of time. Mayan ruins await both inside and outside of its cities and its museums offer even more examples of this rich pre-Colombian heritage. But El Salvador isn’t just a window in the past. Nestled in a valley at the base of San Salvador volcano, the capital San Salvador is a modern metropolis with excellent restaurants, a vibrant nightlife and many cultural attractions. The same way good perfume comes in small bottles, a wonderful vacation comes in this diminutive but charming country, where you can find a little bit of everything. From up scale shopping in the ritzier district of Colonia Escalon, to the Zona Rosa district for exclusive nightlife and restaurants.

El Salvador is located in Central America, bordered on the north and west by Guatemala, to the north and east by Honduras and on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean. Its tropical climate has a rainy season extending from May to October. There are actually three climate zones which vary according to altitude.
