16 July 2022 – Suchitoto, El Salvador 🇸🇻

Day 3 after arriving in El Salvador, and what better way to kick things off than with a chicken bus ride from San Salvador to Suchitoto. Music blasting, good vibes all around, snacks and drinks passing hands — everyone here seems to be their own boss 🫣.

Suchitoto welcomed us with cobblestone streets, warm smiles, and the rhythm of small-town life. We wandered into a lively street game, then treated ourselves to a burger at Donde Pollo with one of the best lake views I’ve ever seen. $10 for a burger might sound steep… until you factor in that view. Worth every sat.

One night at Monchi’s Hostel — brand new, cozy, and serving a proper Salvadoran breakfast. A perfect start to the adventure.

Tomorrow: more from Suchitoto…

Suchitoto – Day 2 🌞🚤

Started the morning with a typical Salvadoran breakfast: scrambled eggs with ham, fried plantain, fresh bread, cheese, gallo pinto, coffee, and a dash of local cream. Simple, fresh, and perfect fuel for the day ahead.

We walked down to the lake under the blazing sun until we reached the entrance. A friendly señora collected the fee (just $1–$2), and inside you could see the board listing boat trip options. Prices were per boat, not per person, but with a little chatting we got an hour-long trip, including a stop, for just $15 instead of the usual $30–$40.

The highlight? A visit to a small island where El Ermitaño lived in a cave by the water from 1989 to 2012. The peace, the view, and the breeze made it feel like a different world.

Back at the entrance, the bus stop was right there — plenty of time for a cold drink while waiting.

Suchitoto isn’t just beautiful; it’s full of stories waiting to be discovered.
