Vive una inmersión total en la esencia de San Salvador: su historia, sus paisajes, su gente y sus sabores.

Comenzamos en el corazón histórico con la Catedral Metropolitana, la tumba de San Óscar Romero, la icónica Iglesia El Rosario y la moderna Biblioteca Nacional BINAES. Después nos adentramos en la naturaleza visitando la impresionante Puerta del Diablo, una formación rocosa con vistas panorámicas espectaculares y senderos fáciles a intermedios ideales para los amantes de la aventura y la fotografía. La experiencia se enriquece con lo mejor de la gastronomía salvadoreña: riguas, elote loco, carne asada y, por supuesto, las tradicionales pupusas.

Best Tour Guide Papagayos

5.00If you’re looking for a tour guide when in El Salvador, I highly recommend Papagayos. What an incredible experience they gave us. We were there for 2 weeks. They picked us up for each tour and always on time and brought us back to our hotel. They are so very personable and very knowledgable with the history of El Salvador. Erick, his wife Doris and son Jerry were all so warm and have a great deal of passion for El Salvador. They are so attentive, they make you feel so welcomed and feels like you made new friends. They took us to the most beautiful places. Hiked up volcanoes with stunning viewpoints. We visited El Boqueron, Ruta de las Flores, Ilopango lake, city tour and that’s just to name a few. At the end they knew we wanted to go to the best place that has pupusas and they accommodated us. Definitely will use them again on our next visit.
Excellent in all respects

5.00We were not sure what to expect. El Salvador was an open question to us what with the past problems of this complex country but Eric, our Salvadorian advisor, was the answer! From start to finish he was communicative, competent and caring. His personality, collective knowledge and his willingness to become a friend took us to a family level of experience. With his effort to help us understand the beauty, social cultural, and political history of his country at a personal level we were provided an insightful experience. We have arrived back home with photos and memories to last us a lifetime. Did I mention he was an excellent driver from Surf City to the architectural and city highlights and beyond the volcanic rims and heights? Thanks again from your Canadian friends.

5.00Top quality tour guides, with fluent English and the smartest way to learn about San Salvador. I did both a private tour of downtown and they organized a 27 person team tour for our group. The private tour was at my pace and filled with amazing insights and experiences with the food and culture of the city. The team tour was in a new air conditioned coach to the volcano, restaurant, coffee plantation and rainbow slide. Filled with great history and answering all of our questions, they were extremely patient with us and made sure we enjoyed every bit. In all my travels, rarely did I see tour guides go the extra effort to welcome us to their country like this team! Thank you for everything and I am glad that I did not fit in the beaches into my trip so then I can return for another tour with you and my family in the future! Many smiles from Canada, from everyone on the tour!
