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.

We did a tour of this site with Eduardo from Salvadorean Tours and he and the location were amazing. With Eduardo’s local knowledge the site came to life. Well worth a stop

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!
