El Salvador Travel Blogs

The bus would continue to San Salvador, however, I had planned to get off earlier in the city of Santa Ana, the second-largest city in El Salvador. I had discussed this with the bus driver and even though Santa Ana was a regular stop for this bus I was the only person getting off here, so the drive…

I spent a few days working in San Salvador, but we had no rental car for our long weekend of exploring. So when work was finished, we took a cab to the airport to get a rental car. Driving in El Salvador is easy and the roads are very good. The exception is San Salvador which can be a challeng…

Took a taxi as far as we could to the bus station - getting a bus to San Miguel .... but still not right to the station and so we have to walk around few hundred metres to the station - now the station was on our list of no go areas - great"! OK so we start walking - but that was th…

After a 5am start from Xela to Guat City, we then got on the 3pm bus from Guat City to San Salvador. Arrived at about 8pm and popped the bags in storage and went off in search if a cinema. Managed to catch the 10pm showing of Pirates of the Caribbean part 3 on its 1st day of showing! Back to the …

This is my trip to Mexico and Central America with my buddy Beau. Our plans are to see some ruins, lay on a few beaches, and hike in a few jungles. This blog should tell you all about it.

This is my second trip to El Salvador this year. I entered the plane in Altanta and as I was traveling with two work mates, we had some good jokes and laughing as we entered the aircraft. The cabin crew as well as other Delta officials greeted us and informed me that we are on the Delta pink p…

There is Something About ItI have this thing about place names that make me want to go there.  I don't really know what it is, some connatation with a name that stirs something.  I suspect it is to do with televison.  One of these place is San Salvador - I like the way it trips off t…

“The hope of reward in this line of religion was to be able to gaze with boredom into the big black hole, pausing only to wipe the face of your pocket watch with a clean linen handkerchief so that it’s next owner can trade it in on a new Bulova along with the gold he has knocked out of your ind…

DAY 3: We woke up at 5pm the next day. Having a feeling that the S.South swell will fill in overnight, we were not dissapointed.  Head high waves, glassy conditions enlighted our eyes before dawn.  We paddled out.  A light off- shore wind will make waves sprayed our faces as we sat t…

By now, Johel is getting resignedly used to the early mornings.  We wake up, and take a walk to look for breakfast.  Eventually come across a pupuseria.  Pupusas are the famous food of El salvador- it's like a stuffed corn or rice tortilla, that has beans and cheese (or meat) in the …

San Salvador greeted us with a wave of hot and humid air. My clothes became instantly wet and sticky as I stood in line to pass immigration. The aircondioned minivan that took us to the hotel was more than welcome. We had been booked at the Courtyard Mariott hotel next to La Gran Via, a wierd place…

The most painless mission yet was from antigua to playa el tunco el salvador, was about 3 hours and the border crossing the easiest ever. Arriving in el salvador it was a night much needed for the recovery after christmas and the place we stayed was pretty much exactly what i needed well the amount…

After not much hustle and bustle in Toronto Air Transat took us to the warmer pasture in San Salvador. Prior to that our water bottle had been confiscated and we were encouraged to purchased a tripple priced H2O at Pearson - we did not. We were also encouraged to leave behind our cigarette lig…

Jonathan and I finally crossed into El Salvador (not kicked out this time) with fake license plate and fake car title. No problems at all!! And straight away i had to let out and "awww" and an "ahhh" and so many random sounds to follow through the trip as i lost breath admiring then beauty of …
