With the sole purpose of our visit being to climb the Santa Ana volcano, Finca La Esperanza Coffee Tour was a pleasantly surprising highlight of our time in El Salvador. Situated on the fertile slopes of the volcano, this coffee farm is operated by Eduardo and Bruno, two of the kindest men you'll ever meet. When greeted at our hotel and driven in the back of their pickup truck, we knew we were in for a unique experience. Eduardo provided an excellent English explanation of coffee growth, the business behind it, and his family tradition. He showcased his farm of several acres, including the numerous varieties and ages of coffee plants, his fruits, and beautiful flowers and birds. Meanwhile, Bruno captured the moment on his camera and a link to view the photos was sent via email. Afterwards, a table was prepared for us to enjoy his freshly ground coffee and local baked goods. We purchased coffee to share with our friends back home and appreciate the backbreaking labor required to produce it. Prior to our trip, we were apprehensive about our safety while in El Salvador. Eduardo and Bruno, however, have affirmed our belief that there are many good people in this world. Above all else, Eduardo's coffee, his passion, and sense of friendship transcend our differences as humans. If you are planning to visit El Salvador, you will not regret it, and this coffee tour is a must-do.

My husband and I have figured out that the most wonderful place to visit are the local Catholic Churches, specially in Latin countries! The rich history of the place is found in the architecture and artwork that has been preserved in the building. That said, the Catedral has a beautiful gothic decor and is surrounded by great Spanish architecture in the houses around!

Open 9.00 AM to 4.00 PM all days except Mondays. Tazumal is about one and half hour drive from San Salvador. This can be clubbed with the much sought after tour of the flowers route which is a full day tour from San Salvador. It’s a small but well maintained site and a very nice museum. Guides are available there. Entry tickets are 3.00 USD. Expect to spend about an hour. Plenty of artefacts and souvenirs available for purchase outside.

Casa Blanca is set on a beautiful wooded area right off the main road. One enters the site through the museum, which itself is a very attractive colonial house that looks like the old coffee haciendas. There are a number of rooms with exhibits and an indigo factory and store. When I visited, there was a function that involves singing and poetry reading in Nahuatl, which was fascinating and unique. I think I was the only person visiting the actual ruins. Casa Blanca is not at big as Tazumal but worth visiting. The guards here are very friendly and helpful, truly enjoyable experience, even got to see upclose the Salvador’s national bird, the Torogoz!!
