  • In this video we explore the colonial town of Santa Ana, El Salvador checking out the colorful streets, local markets, and colonial churches. Then we take a chicken bus out to the nearby Mayan ruins of Tazumel.
    Not far from El Salvadors capital is the cute town of Santa Ana. It’s a common basecamp for some epic volcano hikes, but the town itself has a colorful, antique charm with multicolored storefronts and elegant cathedrals. The town has a very local feel, as we stumbled upon a few church services, a food fundraiser, and got invited to dance with some old ladies at the bar. We even got invited to check out the rooftop of the Cathedral to get sweeping views of the city below. A quick day trip from Santa Ana takes you to El Salvadors largest heritage site, Tazumel, home to ancient mayan ruins. Had a great time exploring this small town as we prepared for our volcano hike, and here’s how it went…

    This is one of the best videos about Santa Ana that I have ever seen!!! Congratulations to these two Gringos travelling to El Salvador and showing us the best places for tourists to vist in my home city of Santa Ana where I spent my childhood 30 years ago. After travelling around the world myself and visited more than 50 countries worldwide and most of all after have been living in London, England for 30 years I realized how beautiful and fantastic my country El Salvador is, especially my my hometown Santa Ana...I remember going to CERRO TECANA y CERRO SANTA LUCIA when I was in primary school climbing to the top of these two cerros (Hills) so full of tall trees and vegetation...incredibly beautiful...Coatepeque Lake and Guija Lake in Metapan, the Volcano and Cerro Verde...I dream about going back there soon...

    Thank you for this video! This is where my mom is from. She has shared so many stories with me about growing up in Santa Ana. I’ve never been, but I may end up going now after watching this video! It looks so beautiful. I want to walk the streets where my mom grew up! 😢

    This is my home town. The last time I went back home was in 1994. I was scared to go back home due to the violence and crime. I have a wife and children and I want them to visit my home country.

      Is lovely to hear. My husband and I are going there next week and have spent years travelling Guatemala, Colombia and Mexico, for some reason El Salvador has me a little worried about safety issues. But this eased my mind some. Excellent video thank you!!
