The Ruta de las Flores (Route of the Flowers) is a colorful, cultural journey through five small colonial towns in the most mountainous region of El Salvador. The cool, breezy climate, natural beauty, and slower pace of life along this winding route truly make this trip “An Escape to New Heights”. Along the way, you’ll find authentic arts and crafts, colonial architecture and cobblestone streets, local and international cuisine, beautiful panoramic views of the mountainside coffee plantations, lagoons, dense forests and archaeological sites – EVERYTHING you’re looking for to unwind and enjoy the warm Salvadoran culture.
