    In El Salvador we don't use "station" but "terminal". You should ask for "la terminal de buses". Station is ussually related to train.
    And bus stop is "parada de buses"

    It's interesting to see a side of El Salvador that isn't connected to the major cities. With peace & stability I can see this part of Central America increasing it's tourism trade.
    Congratulations on achieving 600K. Soon you'll cross the million barrier!

    You are a brave man, taking the local buses in El Salvador. This brings back memories of me and my now spouse taking the local buses in Costa Rica over 25 years ago. Never quite sure if you were on the right bus or going in the right direction. All part of the adventure! Keep up the great travel blogging !

    Another excellent video, thanks. Your camera captures every little detail on your trip, that is nice. The "horchata" you took it tastes like peanut, but it is made from the seed of a local fruit called "morro". I like to see that your very interested in knowing the history of each thing you see. I recommend you to ask the young people about something you want to know, because some of them speak English. Regards.

    In my footsteps. Ataco was my next destination after Santa Ana. I walked with my backpack to the bus station which was around two kilometers from Sole. The bus station was a bit tricky to find the last meters..haha. You went the exact same way the last meters. It was really the real deal 🙂Ahuachapán wasn't an easy word to pronounce. The local buses in El Salvador was a bit of a highlight, but like you said, it takes a lot of time to figure and to ride,. The bus to Santa Ana volcano was also a local experience. Ataco was so relaxing I was sad to leave it.
    I stayed in Ataco for 3 nights. Used Ataco as a base to visit the other villages. Ataco is really small and good for a day trip. It was a shame that the main square was under renovation. It looked nice. Had many meals at that mexican restaurant. Tacos were great.

  • @Tofflemire
    @Tofflemire 6 месяцев назад +6

    You drank Salvadoran horchata, it's made with milk and morro (calabash seeds), peanuts, or coconut. I know it says it's a Mexican restaurant, but they adapt Mexican food to the Salvadoran palate. Chan is kind of like a strawberry lemonade with a touch of chia seeds. Hope you like our Horchata and had a great time in El Salvador!

    Hey Gab, I am enjoying your adventures in El Salvador. The gastronomy there is quite unique, don't expect it be identical to Mexico or any other country even if it looks the same. Horchata in El Salvador is made with a blend of grounded toasted seeds, including peanuts, cinnamon, sugar, milk and other things. Take care.

    In reality, the flower route begins in Ahuachapán, nearby there are several attractive places such as thermal pools, the lagoon and of course the central park, which is one of the most beautiful in the country .
    That area also has and produces the best high altitude coffee, in addition to being the largest national protected area in the country and is called the Central American capital of geothermal energy for the production of that energy
    That area has a very incredible coast, much better than El Tunco

    it's Salvadorean horchata, the volcano, just go there yourself, you get to go in groups, you pay for a guide there, like 3$ (not sure) and then pay to climb it at the entrance too, you really don't need a tour guide, you'll be joining a group of people to climb it
