Day Trip to Puerta del Diablo Natural Park + Pupusa-Making Workshop
Tour Details
After picking you up from your hotel, we'll begin our journey to the Panchimalco district, in the mountainous area of El Salvador. Are you ready to discover one of Central America's most impressive natural enclaves?
Upon arrival, you'll be surprised by the giant boulders right before your eyes. Did you know that the name Puerta del Diablo (Devil's Door) hides a fascinating legend? We'll explore this natural park while discovering the history and geological features of the hills.
Then, we'll visit the crystal lookouts, observation decks where you can admire the volcanos of San Salvador and San Vicente. With the Salvadorean capital in the background, it's best to get your cameras ready for this scenic view!
Continuing our tour, we'll also see the scenic views of the mountains of El Chulo and El Chulito, until we reach the entrance of the Puerta del Diablo Cave. Here, we'll take a break at a spot where you can see the town of Panchimalco. You won't stop taking pictures of this lovely view!
We'll then continue walking along the mountain of El Chulito until we reach the Plaza Típica, a square full of stalls with Salvadorean food. To rest up, we'll stop at a traditional pupusa restaurant, where you'll enjoy these thick cornmeal cakes filled with different ingredients. You'll also take part in a fun pupusa-making workshop and savor your delicious handmade pupusas!
After trying this local dish, we'll head to Planes de Renderos, a calm town that's ideal for seeing the everyday life of El Salvador.
Finally, we'll return to your hotel to conclude this 4-hour tour.
