Stroll the exquisite stone-laid avenues, peruse art exhibits, explore the Ruins’ Theater, create at the Craft House, and admire the Santa Lucia Church, erected in 1853. As one of the city’s focal points for its design and historic value, it offers an opportunity for a peaceful guided promenade. Afterward, savor magnificent vistas of Suchitlán Lake from the terrace of Casa 1800 Suchitoto, an eatery set amidst enchanting gardens where one can relish the local fauna and the melodies of various avian species.
Continue with a scenic circuit of the Salvadorean Capital, San Salvador, and tick off its key boulevards and landmarks. Relish a visit to principal residential areas, the Historical Center including the Metropolitan Cathedral, National Palace, and National Theatre. Pay homage at the ‘Divina Providencia Chapel’, the site of Monseñor Romero’s assassination, and marvel at the architecture of El Rosario Church.
