Ahuachapán

Located in western El Salvador, Ahuachapán offers distinctive destinations where you can explore, savor high-altitude coffee, and discover local traditions.

A main attraction in Ahuachapán is La Asunción Parish, an architectural treasure featuring colonial design dating back over 100 years. A candlelight procession is held each year in honor of the city's patron saint, leading up to the Nativity of Mary, in which the main streets of Ahuachapán and surrounding municipalities are decorated with handmade lanterns.

Don't miss Pasaje La Concordia, a pedestrian area decorated with vibrant murals, iconic sites, and historical markers such as the Monument to the Family in La Concordia Park, and the Monument to General Francisco Morazán, a historic President of the Republic of El Salvador, which sits in Francisco Menéndez Park.

For a unique opportunity to discover western El Salvador's wealth of tourism destinations, Ahuachapán delivers unforgettable experiences.
