About the 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 clients. We invite you to discover the country's capital, which has changed the most in Latin Americ, 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. And what about the National Library — the most modern in Central America? Visit 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.3 hours
