This tourist destination just minutes from San Salvador is an ideal natural retreat from urban life. Balboa Park is part of one of El Salvador's main ecological reserves.
The park covers 30 hectares filled with lush vegetation that makes it a perfect spot for fresh air while enjoying the diverse flora and fauna. Visitors can also find a good cup of coffee, a delicious plate of pupusas, or enjoy a peaceful stroll with friends.
