El Salvador Holiday Packages

Holidays To El Salvador

Big things often come in little packages, and nowhere is that more true than El Salvador. It may be the smallest Central American country, but it's also the most densely populated.

From solitary views at the tops of volcanoes to bustling markets where you can barter the day away, El Salvador holidays have something for all types of travellers.

Things to Do in El Salvador

Comalapa International Airport (SAL) is 80 km from San Salvador and 100 km from Santa Ana, the two largest cities in the country, so make sure you look into Wotif’s amazing El Salvador car hire deals to get around easily. Once you've figured out which side of the road to drive on (it’s the right), check out some of the historical ruins such as the Tazumal, San Andres and the Joya de Ceren, also known as the Pompeii of the Americas.

If ancient ruins just remind you of your lounge room floor at home, explore some of the area’s natural beauty. Visit the San Salvador volcano, El Boqueron National Park or do some fishing and golfing at Lake Ilopango. Then again, you could just combine history with nature. The beautiful peak of Puerta Del Diablo, translated to the “Devil's Door”, is where ancient Mayan sacrifices took place. Is it weird to want to see it? Maybe. Is it a necessity of any El Salvador holiday? Absolutely.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

If you need souvenirs other than awesome photos that make all your friends jealous, it’s time for some shopping. For a Western experience, the Metrocentro in Santa Ana has tons of shopping outlets and restaurants. San Salvador, however, is where you'll find dozens of traditional and new-age shops in the Urbanizacion Decapolis, Colonia Las Rosas and Barrio San Esteban neighbourhoods.

Foodies will want El Salvador holiday packages in San Salvador, which has the largest variety of cuisine in the country. Colonia San Benito (aka Zona Rosa) has cafes, brewing companies with international beers, Latin American cuisine and even American delights to feast upon. Want a meal and a story? Find the local pupuseria with the longest line and chow down on these cheese-and-meat-filled delights. Trust us—they’re the best in Central America.

After a long day of shopping, visiting unique historical sites and sampling Central American cuisine, it's time to have a drink and enjoy the nightlife. Heck, do this if even if you didn’t have a long day. With our El Salvador packages you’ll have plenty of expendable cash to enjoy Colonio San Benito's bars and disco clubs. Then again, you could just show up for July Festival in, you guessed it, July, for nonstop street parades, fairground rides and no chance of getting any sleep.
