Fun Walking Tour of San Salvador's Historic Center

About this activity

"The tour is like a roller coaster of emotions, from stories of the civil war and gang violence to crowded and chaotic markets. It's a fantastic way to see San Salvador," commented one of our guests.

We invite you to discover the country's capital, which has changed the most in Latin America, a place that not long ago was known as the murder capital of the world.

Walk the most iconic squares in the city, visit Rosary Church, one of the few Brutalist churches on the continent and visited by thousands of tourists. Visit the National Library — the most modern in Central America, and Romero’s crypt — he was assassinated while celebrating Mass and his tomb is visited by thousands of people.

Learn about history and culture; laugh, taste, and walk with us.

We are traveling souls (Carlos and Gio) – passionate, dedicated guides, ready to show you El Salvador from a whole new perspective.
