When to go

Start walking tours in the morning; after rain, cobblestones and descents can be slippery.

Things to see and do

Discover the main square and lanes, visit an art space and add a view of the lake.

Practical tips

A boat trip on the lake requires separate arrangements and checks of the weather and life jackets.

Getting there and getting around

Arrival is usually overland through the San Salvador area; confirm times and transfer conditions.

Where to stay

A night in the centre is practical for walks; for rural accommodation, clarify access and evening return arrangements.

What to try

Try pupusas with different fillings, pickled curtido vegetables and local coffee.
