Photos from Suchitoto - El Salvador

Posted: February 14, 2022 | Tagged: El Salvador

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 40 km 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!

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 viewpoints, 'miradores':
