I highly recommend this layover tour. I adjusted it slightly as I spent the night in San Salvador and they were more than willing to accommodate and happily dropped me at my hotel. Rafael was a very knowledgeable and energetic guide. He stopped at a fabulous restaurant for some pupusas, at my request. I was fortunate to walk downtown after sunset so I saw all the Christmas lights and the bustle of the market. If you're wondering if you should layover in San Salvador...you should!Osmaro in guia espectacular! No segunda vez en el Salvador y volveria por mas. Mi Madre lo disfruto mucho. Mezcla de naturaleza e historia. Recomendado para Escalas largas

Tour maravilhoso pela bela cidade de San Salvador! A equipe do Eco Tours Petate deram todo o apoio necessário desde antes da viagem, explicando onde direcionar-se ao desembarcar no aeroporto, quanto no momento de passar pela imigração. O guia Rafael é espetacular, conhece muito sobre a história de seu país, é flexível em relação à rota, além de muito simpático e prestativo. Tudo ocorreu dentro do horário previsto de conexão. Ai final tens a oportunidade de experimentar as famosas e deliciosas Pupusas, comida típica da América Central.

El equipo fue muy cordial y atento desde el momento en que llegué al aeropuerto, rapidez y asesoramiento indicado de los trámites. Tuve una escala por 8 horas, tiempo suficiente para estar en volcán boquerón y un visita guiada por el centro histórico de El Salvador. Lo que más me gustó fue la panorámica desde el volcán, el tour te cuenta a detalle la historia de sus erupciones y la forma en que ello ha cambiado el paisaje así como el impacto social y económico. Súper recomendada la agencia. :)
