Experience one of El Salvador's memorable cultural traditions with a panoramic drive into the highlands of Cerro Verde National Park. This protected area is known for its sweeping views of the Izalco and Santa Ana volcanoes. Your guide knows all about the region's natural history, volcanic landscapes, and the ancient communities that once thrived here.
Your destination is the iconic Hotel Casa 1800 Cerro Verde, perched on the edge of the National Park at one of the most extraordinary volcano viewpoints in the country. Here, you'll join a hands-on pupusa workshop, learning to prepare El Salvador's most famous flatbread dish. The pupusa traces its origins back to the ancestral Maya-Pipil, who crafted corn-based foods using techniques passed down through generations.
Under the guidance of local cooks, prepare your own pupusas — shaping the dough, adding traditional fillings, and cooking them on the hot comal — all while enjoying the fresh mountain breeze and breathtaking views.
When it's all cooked, sit down and taste your authentic Salvadoran creation, right here in the very heart of its cultural birthplace.
