    Sensational experience with our guide, Josué Romero. We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Josué is incredible; besides being personable, he's also full of knowledge about the history of his beautiful country, El Salvador. We learned so much. Thank you for such a wonderful day.

    El Salvador is a developing country with amazing sites to explore. El Parque Arqueológico Cihuatan is a peaceful place. Although the weather was hot, you could appreciate its wonders. Then we went to Cihuatan Rumerie; the organization, attention, and tasting were a great experience. They have a neat Rumerie and are well organized. This stop is a must!! The little town of Suchitoto is beautiful!! You can feel the peaceful life that this community has. But this trip wasn’t this amazing without Josue!!! He is very knowledgeable, kind and funny! During the journey, he always had information to share. We recommend this adventure 100% !!

  • Culture, landscapes and flavors in harmony. Unmissable!

    This trip was a sensory and educational journey. The combination of history in Cihuatan, the authenticity of Suchitoto and the passion for rum created a unique experience. I recommend this tour to curious travelers who wish to discover El Salvador beyond the conventional. A day that will be etched in my memory!

    We went on 2 tours with Josue, 1st to Suchitoto and the 2nd to Copan. We enjoyed visiting Suchitoto, walking around, learning the history and having lunch at a Hacienda. What my wife and I really enjoy was the history and the narrative Josue provided on the way. The history of El Salvador from the republic of Central America til today. The educational and healthcare system to life in the country. Therefore we decided on a 2nd tour with Josue to Copan. The drive was long but the experience was well worth it. The art at Copan was so different from other Mayan sites. Because of where Copan is located, there was no easy way, and if we didn’t go we’re not sure if there’ll be another chance. Thank you Josue

    A wonderful day out with our guide and driver David. We were lucky to have him all to ourselves and also the Cihuatan site almost all to ourselves. It is a quiet and well kept site and worth a visit. David took us to a great restaurant for lunch with magnificent views then we visited very pretty town of Suchitoto. David was very considerate and a careful driver as well and very helpful and we learnt a lot. Thanks aggro a great day out.

    A very pretty, quiet city. There are plenty of great pupuserias and an old, remodeled theater with free cultural events. We saw opera choruses! It's easy and fun to go out on the lake. This town is work a visit.
