Mornings begin with yoga and delicious breakfasts. We’ll enjoy a guided walking tour exploring the city. Then, it’s onto the coast! In Santa Ana City we’ll visit architectural marvels. A local restaurant for lunch then head to Tazumal, one of the most significant Maya-Pipil archaeological sites in El Salvador.

A welcome dinner will be a nice relaxing end to a full day of adventuring. We’ll overnight in a lovely boutique property in the highland town of Ataco.

Our third day will be epic! We’ll explore the Ruta de las Flores including known for its indigenous heritage and crafts. Lunch is before sweet hiking then onto the real goodness, Santa Teresa Hot Springs! Soaking in volcanic thermal pools set in tropical gardens, yes please. Our accommodations will be at a mountain lodge in Cerro Verde National Park.

A guided tour of a traditional Salvadoran coffee farm tracing the full journey from harvest to cup is after yoga & breakfast. Coatepeque Lake, one of El Salvador's most iconic natural landmarks is on the itinerary to view the crystal waters.

We’ll dive into a pupusa, hands-on cooking session with local experts; making El Salvador's national dish with fresh ingredients. Our hard work will be rewarded with the food as our lunch.
