- heckfyPleasanton, California1,215 contributionsIf you've been to Pompeii, this place might look disappointing. Everything is much smaller. But if you're interested in history, it's a very unique place.
Why? There are a lot of ancient structures in this area made of stone. That's great, but those are mostly ceremonial places because regular people lived in houses made of clay and wood and they obviously didn't last as long as stone.
But here we can actually see how a settlement of ordinary people looked like.Written January 27, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SalaYYZToronto, Canada50 contributionsThe main church of the capital. There are some architectural features reminiscent of both European and Colonial American churches.
For Catholics, aside from the Blessed Sacrament, the must-visit is the crypt below where Saint Oscar Romero is buried. The tomb is in the form of a brass sculpture adorned with various symbolic elements. A holy place.Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The lake itself is stunning and on a good day the views are breathtaking.

- The World is My OysterOrlando, FL21,844 contributionsThis was definitely the spot to be at night, as there were so many restaurants and bars everywhere.

- pshurdEverywhere USA968 contributionsThis was a suggested optional tour on our OAT Route of the Mayas tour. Luckily all in the group elected to go, so we had bus transportation there & back to our hotel. The gardens were lovely & well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit & would highly recommend anyone visiting San Salvador to include a visit there. We especially enjoyed all the birds & other wildlife - our first view of an iguana on this trip & also an Agouti.Written January 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kim N134 contributionsThis was such a special treat! Adonis, our tour guide from Salvadorean Tours offered to take us here before the Half Day San Salvador City Tour. He even acted as our guide, which was great since most signs were in Spanish with very little English. A great guide, a great company, and a very interesting private collection of Mayan artifacts.Written November 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN7,991 contributionsA trip to the top of Volcan San Salvador and El Boqueron National Park is a must if visiting San Salvador. It is a 30 minute Uber ride from the Zona Rosa area of San Salvador. Make sure you arrange for the driver to wait or return as there is no cell service at the top. It is a short mildly strenuous hike from the parking lot to the overlooks of the crater at the top of the volcano. We spent about 30-40 minutes hiking at the top. Great views of San Salvador from the road up to the top. Plenty of restaurants and cafes with spectacular views along the road to the volcano and at the top.Written January 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
