Antiguo Cuscatlán

Despite being a relatively new city, Antiguo Cuscatlán has become a highly visited tourist destination because of its surge in modern infrastructure through impressive shopping centers and high-value vertical residential complexes.

If you enjoy shopping, you can appreciate modern shopping centers that, because of their size and renowned stores, are a true attraction for tourists. In addition, they have a semi-open infrastructure that allows you to stroll pleasantly while you shop.

Highly recognized hotels also operate in this district, a city recommended for express or business trips.

Furthermore, small local businesses offering traditional Salvadoran food let you enjoy delicious dishes such as the pupusa and other corn-based preparations.

The pupusa, although not originally a specialty of this destination, has been marketed massively throughout the municipality, becoming an almost mandatory stop for any visitor who wants to try a traditional Salvadoran dish. This economic dynamic will allow you to deeply understand the everyday life of Salvadorans.

Each year this emerging city fills with vibrant color when it celebrates the patron saint festivals in honor of the Santos Niños Inocentes, which have been celebrated since the 10th century. The event takes place from December 26 to December 28 as the main dates, but throughout the month you can see religious and cultural activities, parades, carnivals, lights, as well as popular dances, an magnet for national and international tourists.
