Suchitoto is one of the best-preserved colonial towns in the country, with cute cobbled streets, colourful buildings, an artificial lake, a basalt waterfall and the central square with the striking Iglesia Santa Lucía dating from 1859.

Check out these photos from Suchitoto.

Refer to my updated post on How to get from San Salvador to Suchitoto by bus.

Suchitoto should definitely be on your list when visiting El Salvador.

The Santa Lucia church right next to the Central Park:

I headed down to Lake Suchitlán, a 40km long, man-made reservoir. Awesome views guaranteed!

The idea here was to take a boat across the lake to San Francisco Lempa:

On the way back, sit down at the lake and enjoy some beers!

The view from my hostel in Suchitoto, the Hostal Raices de Mi Pueblo:

I walked out to the Cascada Los Tercios. In the dry season there is no water but it is an easy scramble down, admiring the basalt rock formations:

And there are 2 view points, 'miradores':

Evening view of the lake:

There are lots of cute little streets to wander aimlessly:

The Casa de La Abuela, my favourite café in town:
