Tailor-made Holidays in El Salvador

El Salvador has fewer protected areas than its neighbours, and is home to pristine forests, active volcanoes and sparkling lakes. The only place you might find a crowd is on Punta Roca, El Salvador’s most famous surfing spot – it happens to be one of the best right point breaks in the world, yet is a ghost town compared to lesser swells in Costa Rica and elsewhere. And when it comes to cities, none in Central America is smarter or cooler than San Salvador, with first-rate universities, museums and galleries, a vibrant bar and live-music scene.

Visas
A visa is not required for a stay of up to 90 days. You must be in possession of a passport valid for 6 months beyond stay and a round-trip airline ticket. Tourist cards are obtained upon arrival at El Salvador International Airport.

When to go
El Salvador has a tropical climate with only two seasons: dry season (November to April), and invierno, or wet season (May to October). Almost the entire annual rainfall occurs during the rainy season and at night. Temperatures are based mostly on elevation in El Salvador.

The coastal areas are the hottest, averaging between 22°C and 32°C throughout the year; the central areas vary dramatically throughout the year, from 19°C in the coldest months to 38°C in the warmest; and the mountainous areas are always cool, with temperatures averaging between 12°C and 23°C.

Therefore we recommend that the best time of year to visit is at the beginning or end of the dry season, when temperatures are comfortable.

Getting there
El Salvador's international airport, Aeropuerto Internacional Comalapa is located about 50km southeast of San Salvador. It is a major Central and Latin American hub, and a gateway to and from North American cities where you will stop over from the UK like Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta etc. An average flight time from the UK including 1 stop is 15 hours.
