El Salvador has rich forests and craggy mountains that make for great hiking. But the people of El Salvador are surely its richest resource, and the best reason to come. Direct, friendly and unaided by mass tourism, most Salvadorans are genuinely happy to chat or help you out if you're lost. The locals are outstandingly welcoming. Generations of international surfers testify that the breaks of El Salvador’s Pacific coast rival the best of the world. And the nation’s natural beauty—volcanoes, verdant coffee plantations, isolated beaches – are worth the trip.  El Salvador is widely known for its great Coffee Tradition. Huge efforts are being made to help this traditional industry survive. Be sure to visit the beautiful coffee plantations and mills, and try the first-class gourmet coffee that is produced in this magical place

El Salvador has a tropical climate with pronounced wet and dry seasons. Temperatures vary primarily with elevation and show little seasonal change. The Pacific lowlands are uniformly hot; the central plateau and mountain areas are more moderate.

La Libertad

Also known as Puerto de la Libertad, the dynamic port town of La Libertad, located in the coastal crease of La Libertad state in El Salvador, is emerging as one of Central America’s best surfing destinations for international travelers.

Only half an hour from San Salvador, La Libertad’s surf breaks are the most popular of all the El Salvador beaches, though its crowds are still mainly composed of locals and backpackers.
Because of El Salvador’s lingering notoriety and its lack of a solid tourism infrastructure, you’ll discover fewer tourists on La Libertad compared to other Central American beaches.
