Tour Details

Interested in discovering the history of El Salvador? Then you'll meet us at the designated time at the Plaza Gerardo Barrios, where the equestrian statue of this illustrious politician and Salvadorean soldier stands out. This is the perfect location to start our free tour of San Salvador

We'll head to Plaza Libertad, where the city started to expand and where the famous Monument to the Heroes lies. From here, we'll visit the Iglesia de El Rosario nearby. Inside this oval church, you'll admire its interesting colorful lighting thanks to its windows.

Next, we'll head to the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador, home of the crypt of Saint Archbishop Oscar Romero, also known as Monsignor Oscar Romero. Here, you'll learn about his inspiring fight for human rights and his tragic ending. Afterward, we'll visit the kilometer 0, the exact spot where all the distances of El Salvador are measured.

To experience the most authentic part of the city, we'll dive into the Central Market, a labyrinth filled with colorsflavors, and aromas. As you lose yourself among the stands, you'll have the chance to grab a bite to eat and try fresh fruit of the season and traditional sandwiches. Tasty!

Finally, we'll return to the initial meeting point to say goodbye after this 3-hour free tour of the Salvadorean capital's historic center.
