El Salvador, An Experience of a Lifetime!

There are a few things you should not pass on doing while you have the time and energy to map out your next vacation.

There is one paradisiac destination that offers great adventure and adrenaline located in the heart of Central America.

El Salvador, the smallest, and the only country in Central America offers world class surfing, fishing, scuba diving, para penting, and superb entertainment and night life.

With 756 km of coastline, El Salvador is the only country in Central America with a rich coral reef extending almost 157 km making this natural phenomenon the largest one in the Americas Pacific Region.

The reef is directly responsible for giving El Salvador world class waves and surfing, and thus attracting professional surfers to key locations such as Playa Sunzal.

Fishing is giving our coastline a lot to talk about in recent years. The 446 km2 of protected mangroves make up for an excellent light tackle adventure for anyone interested in bringing down spinning, casting, and/or fly fishing equipment. Bahia de Jiquilisco and Barra de Santiago are two excellent locations highly suggested for fly fishing.

Los Cobanos, is a top choice when it comes down to a great day of fishing for Dorado, Snapper, Sailfish, Yellowfin tuna, Wahoo, and Marlin.

It is also a great destination for longboard surfing, and paddle surfing, as you can arrange with a captain to assist you with your surfing needs.

There are a few other activities that are starting to 'turn up the volume' for El Salvador in the international media such as excellent places to practice horseback riding, quad off-roading, mountain biking, para penting, spear fishing, and kayak fishing.
