Agritourism awaits you in San Ignacio

If your thing is the countryside and relaxation in the middle of nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city then your thing is agritourism.

This tourism modality is increasingly widespread throughout the world. Allows visitors to isolate themselves in silence in perfect harmony with nature, and be in contact with the life, culture, folklore, and traditions of the peoples.

In El Salvador, several destinations allow you to practice agritourism. One of the most demanded is with no doubt the north of the department of Chalatenango. A natural place with small quiet villages full of charms, such as San Ignacio.

This destination is rich in the vegetation of pines, cypresses, and all kinds of fauna, especially tepezcuintles (pacas), squirrels, cotuzas, deer, raccoons, tigrillos, and others. San Ignacio and its surroundings are the perfect destinations for adventurers, an area suitable for hiking, camping, mountaineering, and many other outdoor activities.

This small town is also the ideal point to start the adventure towards various local attractions such as fruit and vegetable crop cooperatives, the walk to the Rock of Cayaguanca, and other destinations that will captivate you.

El Pital hill

To reach the camping area, you have to ascend about 5 kilometers along a route between vegetable plantations, pine forests, and beautiful landscapes full of flowers. Cold-water streams are another attraction that can be enjoyed while on the walk.

Miramundo hill

This cloud forest system adjacent to Cerro El Pital is located at 2,400 meters above sea level and is an ideal area for horticulture. The tour of the crops should be a rewarding opportunity to be in touch with the fruits of the earth.
